#6 FERRIS STATE 3, PARKSIDE 0
Ferris State came into the GLIAC Tournament ranked No. 6 in the nation after winning the GLIAC Regular Season, and they proved their ranking was no fluke, taking down the No. 8 seeded Rangers in straight sets (25-14, 25-10, 25-13) in the GLIAC Tournament Quarterfinals. Parkside wraps up its first year in the GLIAC under first year head coach Leigh Barea with an 8-21 overall record and a 5-11 conference record.

"It was a tough match tonight against one of the best teams in the nation," Barea said. "However, I could not be more proud of the team this year. They worked all year long tirelessly to become the best team they could be and it showed as they clinched a spot in the GLIAC Tournament. I can't thank our seniors enough for their leadership and hard work this season. We are going to miss them but they laid the foundation for Parkside volleyball in the future."
