Michigan teams are up 5-3 after the first day of Border Battle which pits teams from Michigan and Ohio against one another. No. 8 Wittenberg was defeated by un-ranked Calvin College - who defeated the Scots 3-1 earlier this week.

Today's games, combined with an MIAA loss to Tri-State yesterday (Sept. 14) and two more games tomorrow against Capital and No. 18 Ohio Northern, means the Scots will have played five matches in three days against a handful of the nation's top teams. Capital is receiving votes in the Sept. 13 American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Top 25 poll.
