KENNESAW, Ga. – The Kennesaw State volleyball team (8-9, 2-1) lost to the Lipsomb Bisons (25-22, 25-17, 26-24) in three sets on Saturday, October 4.
 
"You don't ever want to be encouraged by a loss, but we just talked about it in the locker room that two of those sets and really two and a half sets until the end of set two was point for point, and we were doing good things and playing well," head coach Keith Schunzel said. "That's a good team. They have a lot of older players that have been through it. It's a good team that our guys can learn from and realize that the difference between the two of us is not that great."
 
Anaiah Boyer led the team with 15 digs and eight kills while hitting .227. Katarina Morton returned as the libero and finished with 14 digs.
 
Kristi Piedimonte had 24 assists in the match.
 
The first two sets were similar as both teams kept it close until midway through the set, and Lipscomb used runs to take the lead and close out the sets.
 
In the third set, the Owls grabbed the lead right away and built it up to as many as five points at 11-6, but the Bisons came back to tie the score at 20. KSU spoiled two match points to send the set into overtime, but Lipscomb closed out the match 26-24.
 
Next weekend, the Owls will once again be in the friendly confines of the Convocation Center to face Stetson on Friday, October 10 at 7 p.m. and Florida Gulf Coast on Saturday, October 11 for homecoming weekend.
