In its third match without graduate outside hitter Julia Sangiacomo, the team’s leader in kills, Northwestern fell to Ohio State in three sets Wednesday. The match began with the Wildcats (10-11, 4-7 Big Ten) and the Buckeyes (8-12, 5-6 Big Ten) trading points until a 9-1 run by Ohio State. Four kills from sophomore outside.
Revenge is a dish best served cold, and it got chilly in Evanston just in time for a Saturday rematch with Northwestern’s maize and blue foe — a Michigan squad that prevailed 3-1 the last time the two teams faced. The Wildcats (10-10, 4-6 Big Ten) took the first set but surrendered the next two.
