Seward, NE – The Hastings College volleyball team lost a four-set match to NAIA No. 4 Concordia on Wednesday night inside Friedrich Arena.
The Lady Broncos dropped the first two sets to the Bulldogs but didn't go down without a fight.
Trailing 13-12 in set three, Hastings would put together a couple of nice runs as it was started by a kill from Ilse Benne followed by a service ace from Madison Navarrete. After the teams traded points Dacey Sealey hammered home a kill followed by a double block from Grace Branson and Amiya Barnes as CUNE called a timeout trailing 17-15.
Concordia scored coming out of the timeout but it was all Hastings after that as Sealey picked up another kill. Branson and Barnes teamed up for another block followed by an attack error and a solo block from Barnes pitted HC 0out to a 21-16 lead. Makenna Asher then went back out to Sealey for the kill and another Bulldog attack error made it 23-16. Benne then picked up the final two kills as Hastings was back in it with a 25-19 set three victory.
Concordia jumped out to an 18-13 lead in set four but Hastings made another run starting with a service error from CUNE and then another ace from Navarrete to make it 18-15.
