HAVRE, Mont. - The Carroll College Volleyball team lost in five sets tonight to MSU-Northern in Havre, Mont.

The Saints just can't seem to avoid playing five-set matches. Carroll (10-11, 2-3) played in their eleventh five-set match on the year, which now includes four of their five conference matches. The Saints move to 6-5 in those matches, after pushing the Skylights (11-6, 3-1) to the edge tonight.

MSU-Northern jumped all over the Saints to begin the night, grabbing the first two sets, 25-18, 25-20. Carroll battled back and evened the match at two sets apiece after winning sets three and four, 25-22, 25-17. The Skylights would prevail in an intense fifth set, needing an additional point to win 16-14 and take the match.

Carroll got tremendous output from both Elizabeth Heuiser (Helena, Mont. / SO) and Katherine McEuen (Spokane, Wash. / SR) offensively. Heuiser finished with a team-high 18 kills, while McEuen was right behind her with 17 kills. McEuen also shared the team-high total in digs (26) with Julia Carr (Portland, Ore. / JR).
