Baldwin City, KS-The women's volleyball team was on the road Thursday night for their second conference game in three days. After falling in a tough battle Tuesday night to Benedictine in a match they led 2-0, Graceland fell in 5 again Thursday to Baker. The Jackets lost 25-27, 25-17, 20-25, 25-21 and 11-15. The loss was the second straight for the Jackets after they had previously won 4 of their last 5.
"Tonight was another testimony to the strength of this conference," stated Coach McDole following the loss. "We honestly played close to our best against a very good Baker team.
