ST. LOUIS – The Blue Demons dominated game one against Saint Louis on Saturday night before the Billikens rallied back for the win (16-30, 30-24, 30-27, 30-25). DePaul fought hard for games two, three and four with no success.

The Billikens’ labors were split evenly between Colleen Hunter and Brooke Minniear. Hunter shut down DePaul with 19 kills and seven blocks while Minniear logged in 16 kills and three service aces.

Lara Marks and Katie Engel played yet another great match for the Blue Demons but somehow their efforts couldn’t carry the team.

Marks posted 21 kills and a attack percentage of .385 while Engel put away 19 kills and hit a .300 and showed up defensively giving 14 digs to her team’s efforts. Marks also put in four blocks while Janet Goreham led with five for the Blue Demons. Amie West directed her hitters giving them 52 assists in four games.

The Blue Demons return home next weekend to host Houston and TCU on Friday, November 1 and Saturday, November 2.
