McKenna Kaelber provided 34 assists for Tech, Emma Carvo had 14 digs and Oliva Caddy delivered three aces.

The Bulldogs (9-11, 1-3) were led by a team-high eight kills from Jazi Smith, 19 digs from Kesli Goddard and 25 assists from Kaylee Fritz.

Western travels to Rocky Mountain College on Friday and Tech will head to MSU-Northern on Saturday.
