The North Park volleyball team suffered a pair of setbacks in Decatur Saturday morning.
NP opened the day with a 15-25, 16-25, 18-25 loss to Millikin University in College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin play, then lost a 20-25, 9-25, 15-25 decision to DePauw University in the tri-match finale.
Despite the loss, both freshmen Lauren Wiltsie and Emily Farwell combined for 23 kills in the two-match affair with Farwell recording 13 and Wiltsie 10. Junior Karen Rosales was also solid on the defensive side as she came up with 23 digs combined, including 12 against Millikin.
For Millikin it was their 15th win of the season however to NP's defensive credit, the Vikings held Big Blue hitters to under a .300 hitting percentage. The Vikings mirrored the defensive effort in the second match as well as DePauw recorded only a .286 clip.
North Park (7-12, 0-3) returns to action tomorrow night when it hosts Wheaton College for a 7 p.m. match.
