The Ferris State University women's volleyball squad has climbed two spots in this week's American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA)/Taraflex Division II Rankings as the Bulldogs are listed 22nd in the country.

Ferris State moved up two spots from 24th a week ago after winning its first two Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) matches of the season this past weekend. FSU beat Wayne State 3-2 in Detroit in its league opener on Thursday (Sept. 14) before sweeping Parkside 3-0 at home on Saturday (Sept. 16).

Ferris State is one of four schools from the Midwest Region found in the national rankings this week along with fifth-ranked Missouri-St. Louis, #20-ranked Lewis (Ill.) and Rockhurst (Mo.), which is ranked 25th.

The Bulldogs will hit the road for two more league contests this week. FSU visits Saginaw Valley State on Friday (Sept. 22) evening for a 7 p.m. (ET) conference tilt in University Center. Ferris State then faces Davenport on Saturday (Sept. 23) in a 5 p.m. (ET) conference match in Caledonia.

FSU, which is now 7-3 overall this year, is slated to play its next five contests on the road and will not play another home match until Oct. 6.
