Volleyball drops pair of marathon matches to open Cornerstone Classic

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – In a long evening of volleyball, Cornerstone was unable to find the win column, dropping both matches on Friday night in five sets. CU opened the day with a loss to IU-South Bend before falling to Grace (Ind.) later in the evening to move to .500 overall at 10-10. The Cornerstone Classic will continue tomorrow with plenty more volleyball action, however CU will play just one match at 3 p.m. against no. 18 Rocky Mountain who also went 0-2 on the day.

  • CU did not let up, winning the set 25-15 once again with a kill by Brooke Nicholson. 
  • Set two was a marathon as both teams traded runs, but in the end IUSB pulled out the 28-26 victory behind a pair of kills from Julie Brown and McKenzie Powell. 
  • Cornerstone once again struggled in set three, as they did not hold a lead after 13-12 and fell 25-21.
