Rochester Mayo at Faribault
7:15 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 9

Another conference (the Big 9) comes down to the final week of the season with Rochester Mayo traveling to Faribault in a huge match. 

The Falcons come in hot, winning their last seven conference matches since losing Sept. 4 to Rochester John Marshall. 

Faribault also finished fifth in the Subway Classic in Marshall last weekend, losing only to Central Minnesota Christian in the opening round of the Gold Bracket. Junior middle Maddie Carlander had a big weekend offensively, leading the team in kills on multiple occasions with sets from Renata Erickson. 

Mayo, the defending conference champ, remains unbeaten in the league behind a strong lineup that includes junior outside hitter Anna Winter and the Holtan sisters, sophomore libero Kate and senior setter Nora.
