OXFORD, Ohio - The Northwestern volleyball team opened the 1999 season Wednesday night with a 3-0 loss to the Miami (OH) University RedHawks. Jennifer Zagorski?s double-double (11 kills, 11 digs) could not keep the Wildcats on top. Game scores were 15-13, 15-13, 15-6.
?Tonight was a product of having a very young team,? said head coach Kevin Renshler. ?When it came down to the wire in the close games, our inexperience showed.?
Junior outsider hitter Carmen Burbach contributed 16 kills and 6 digs to the Wildcats efforts.
The Red Hawks were led by Mindy Collins (17 kills, 14 digs) and Andrea Stone (17 kills, 6 digs) in their win over the ?Cats.
The Wildcats will be back in action Friday, when they meet Notre Dame in the Shamrock Invitational held in South Bend, Ind. Match time is slated for 6 p.m.
