Prior to Saturday's match, the senior members of the Lady Lion volleyball team, Alex Britt, Sara Denton and Lindsey Gordon, were honored for their contributions to the team.

"I cannot put into words what this group of seniors have meant to the Lady Lion volleyball program," said Todd Humphry, head coach for the Lady Lions. "Their individual leadership for the team has been a tremendous blessing to everyone. I wish them well in the future with grad school and continued growth as young ladies."

Despite the loss, the Lady Lions (8-11, 4-5 AMC) held their own in each of the five sets, as each frame went down to the wire against a tough conference opponent.
