GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) --- The Green Bay Volleyball team punched its ticket to the Postseason NIVC Quarterfinals on Friday evening, downing Illinois State 3-1 in the Second Round at the Kress Center. The Phoenix (17-15) will now take flight to Dallas, Texas, where it will challenge TCU in the Quarterfinal round on Wednesday, Dec. 6, at 7 p.m. CT. TCU defeated North Texas tonight 3-2 in the Second Round, and will now host a pair of Quarterfinal matchups and a semifinal. 

Jessica Wolf and Taylor Wolf combined for 25 kills in the winning effort, a night after needing five sets to defeat Bowling Green. T. Wolf recorded a double-double with 16 digs, while both of the Wolf sisters hit well over .300 in the match. 

Lydia DeWeese and Roberta Todd also racked up double-digit kills, finishing with 14 and 10 kills respectively. DeWeese led the Phoenix with 16 points in the match as well, adding four blocks. 

Green Bay opened up a 2-0 lead in the match, winning the first set narrowly at 25-23 before coming away with a 25-19 win in the second. The Redbirds (22-13), which cruised past Horizon League member IUPUI last night in straight sets, won the third set before the Phoenix ended the match with a 26-24 win in the fourth set. 

Maddie Yoss did her part with 47 assists and seven digs, while the Phoenix defense came through once again. T. Wolf (16), Austyn Everingham (11) and Vanessa Buman (10) all finished with double-digit dig performances.

The Phoenix took care of business on its home floor, and will now have to travel to the Lone Star State to continue its quest for an NIVC Championship. The Horned Frogs (14-16) are actually under .500 on the season, but compete in the competitive and stacked Big 12 conference. TCU has defeated Wyoming and North Texas to reach the Quarterfinal.
