Liberty, MO-The women's volleyball team was in Liberty, Missouri Tuesday evening facing conference rival William Jewell. The Cardinals have been a season stopper for Graceland over the past few years in conference tournament play so Coach McDole and his team were hungry for a win.
Unfortunately for GU, William Jewell was too much for the Jackets tonight as they fell in 4, 20-25, 20-25, 25-21 & 26-28.
"Jewell brought their game tonight," stated Coach McDole on the trip home. "They played exceedingly well. That said, I felt the last two games were the measure of the match. Our team is still finding itself and in the end I think this match will help us. From here, we can only look forward," concluded McDole.
The Jackets now stand at 8-5 overall and 2-2 in Heart of America Athletic Conference play. Graceland will next play nationally ranked conference opponent Lindenwood University in Lamoni this Saturday at 2:30 pm. The game will be webcast live via Stretch Internet on the Jacket website. Stay tuned to the Jacket athletics website for continuing coverage of the women's volleyball team and all of Jacket athletics.
