September 20-21, 2013:  After a tough loss to the University of Jamestown the Comet volleyball team had a chance to redeem themselves this weekend in South Dakota and they did just that. The team picked up a pair of 3-0 victories over Dakota State University and Presentation College on the road.

Dakota State
Madison, S.D. – The Comets took care of business against the Trojans quickly as they won 25-16, 25-13, and 25-18 for their first victory in the NSAA. The Comets were led in kills by Remington Werner with 11, assists by Katie Wangberg with 29, and digs by Paige O'Connor who finished with 15.

Presentation College
The second match-up of the weekend road trip was more of the same as the Comets quickly disposed of Presentation College winning 25-16, 25-17, and 25-15. Josette Glatt led the way with 10 kills on 12 attempts (.750 attack pct). She was followed by Bugner who was 8-11 (.727 attack pct) on attacks.
