The Saints had a busy schedule, playing five total matches and finishing strong, winning their final three. The Saints competed in the Aquinas/Cornerstone Classic and lost their first two games to Indiana-South Bend and Carroll on Friday, but bounced back on Saturday winning against Huntington, Ind., and Grace, Ind., in 3-2 sets in both. But the main attraction this week for the Saints against the University of Michigan-Dearborn, where they swept the visitors 3-0. The team played in their annual Teal Attack Game, which raised money to raise awareness of ovarian cancer and research. Both teams wore teal attack shirts for warm ups, and the gym was covered in teal balloons and streamers. The Saints did a lot to raise money such as: hosting a silent auction, selling baked goods, pumpkins and raffling off Siena Heights apparel. UM-Dearborn also helped by donating to the event and helped raise money. The Saints won the match.
