WEEKEND WRAPUP: Saturday, October 10, 2026

SUMMARY
WATERTOWN, Wis. -- The Sabercats had a night at home to remember last Tuesday, taking down Moody in four sets behind a packed house that brought the energy. Layla Damotte led the way with 15 kills on the night while Sara Fitz-Henry topped the charts with 28 digs.
The dust settled after the win, though, as the Sabercats only took one set from a weekend NCCAA Midwest Region road trip in Michigan. After getting swept at Grace, the Sabercats took a four-set loss at Great Lakes, who avenged a 3-0 loss to MBU from earlier this season.
