VB: Beacons drop pair of competitive matches to Valley's top teams

VALPARAISO - Lilly Merk has been watching Missouri Valley Conference volleyball for as long as she can remember.

Now the Valparaiso freshman is getting chance to battle against the teams she grew up watching as a child.

Merk and the rest of her freshmen teammates got a first-hand look at the best the Valley has to offer this weekend as Northern Iowa and Drake came into the Athletics-Recreation Center and won a pair of matches against Valparaiso.
