ROCK ISLAND -- The Augustana Vikings women's volleyball team dropped a CCIW match inside the Carver Center on Tuesday, falling to the visiting North Central Cardinals by a score of 3-0 (25-17, 27-25, 25-17).

Emily Schipper and Jaden Julius led the way for the Vikings with eight and five kills, respectively. The Vikings struggled with mistakes throughout the match, committing 24 attack errors and five service errors, while only posting 26 kills as a team.

The Vikings charged back from a second-set deficit and face set point at 25-24 after trailing 24-22, but three straight from the Cardinals sealed up the victory to give them a 2-0 lead in the match. North Central mirrored their first-set efforts with an identical 25-17 score to claim the match win.

Reigning CCIW Student-Athlete of the Week Amelie Baehr-Ross had 17 assists and 10 digs for the Vikings, both a team-high.
