SUN PRAIRIE – The Marshfield volleyball team went 3-2 for the second day in a row and finished sixth at the Sun Prairie Cardinal Invitational on Saturday at Sun Prairie High School.

The Tigers defeated Beaver Dam 25-13, 25-11; Luxemburg-Casco 25-23, 25-22; and Waupun 25-22, 26-24; and lost to Watertown 21-25, 25-22, 15-10; and De Pere 25-19, 25-19, to finish sixth.

“I am pretty pleased with our performance this weekend,” Marshfield coach Dawn Sadowska said. “We obviously have some things to still work on, but three of our losses this weekend came to really strong programs who ended up in the top four of the tournament. This team is only going to get better and better.”
