NKU Volleyball defeats Green Bay to hold firm in second place in Horizon

GREEN BAY, Wis. – Northern Kentucky University Norse women's volleyball traveled up to Wisconsin for the weekend, taking on Green Bay in the first of two matches with the Phoenix on Friday. The Norse defeated Green Bay even after dropping a first set where they allowed the Phoenix to hit .500, bouncing back by allowing them to hit just .067 over the next three sets. The victory saw the Norse hold strong in second place in the Horizon League, with Northern Kentucky now holding a two-game lead over Green Bay & Youngstown State, tied for third.
