Northern Michigan Splits GLIAC Matches, Remains Tied for Third

Marquette, MI, October 13, 2026 —

The Northern Michigan University Wildcats volleyball team recorded one win and one loss in recent Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference matches in Michigan’s Lower Peninsula. Northern Michigan defeated Davenport in four sets, then lost to Wayne State in three.

The split leaves the Wildcats tied for third place in the GLIAC standings, according to the available information. The standings position is the reported outcome of the two-match stretch; no point totals or records for Northern Michigan or other teams were provided.

The results came against two conference opponents, with the Davenport match going to four sets and the Wayne State match ending in three. The available account does not include individual set scores, match dates, venues or details about particular plays. It also does not identify players’ statistics, injuries or comments from the team or coaching staff.

With those details unavailable, the reported results establish the basic shape of Northern Michigan’s recent conference play: a four-set victory over Davenport followed by a three-set defeat against Wayne State. The team remains level with another team or teams for third place, but the information provided does not name those teams or specify how the tie is determined.

No further schedule information or subsequent standings changes were included in the summary. The reported position therefore reflects the Wildcats’ status following the two matches described, without indicating what may happen in later GLIAC competition.
