Volleyball Claims 3-1 Victory over Martin Luther

NEW ULM, Minn. – The Yellowjacket volleyball team hit the road for its final Upper Midwest Athletic Conference (UMAC) regular season road trip of 2024, with its first stop at LSC Gymnasium for a meeting with Martin Luther. Earlier in the year, the 'Jackets needed four sets to defeat the Knights 3-1 inside Mertz Mortorelli Gym.

Friday's script was quite similar, as the 'Jackets downed Martin Luther 3-1 for their 22nd win of the season.
