Winner volleyball team fell to Wagner in three sets on Oct. 18. The scores were 21-25, 18-25 and 21-25.

Coach Jaime Keiser says Wagner is a good team with big hitters. “We knew we would have to play consistent. We struggled with serve receive and our setter was chasing the ball so we couldn’t attack the ball. We gave up too many unearned points. We were not getting blocks up or getting to our sports defensively. I was proud of how we kept hustling and didn’t give up,” said Keiser.
