In the nightcap, the Pointers took the University of Chicago to five stets but was unable to come out with the victory, as the Maroon defeated the Pointers 25-15, 17-25, 19-25, 25-21, 15-8. Wolfe led the way with 14 kills for the Pointers while Bartkowiak added four block assists and two solo blocks.

On Saturday, the Pointers again posted a 1-1 record, defeating Lawrence University 3-0 before falling to the University of Texas-Dallas 3-0. 

It was again Bartkowiak who led the way against UT-Dallas for the Pointers, as she tallied seven kills in the loss. Elderbrook added 19 digs while Lizzy Taylor chipped in 15 in her first action back from an injury. 

The Pointers (8-2) return to action on Wednesday, Sept. 15 when they begin Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference action at UW-Whitewater. Game time is scheduled for 7 p.m.
