by Courtesy of College of St. Mary

OMAHA - The College of St. Mary’s volleyball team played its first home match under new coach Samantha Harvey on Wednesday night as they faced the visiting Concordia University Bulldogs.

After the Bulldogs took both of the first two games, Harvey’s Flames fought back to win game three. Unable to ride their momentum from the previous game, the Flames allowed Concordia to open up the fourth game with eight unanswered points. The Bulldogs held on to their early lead and closed out the match with a 25-21 victory in the final game.

Coach Harvey saw some bright spots at times but overall left the Lied Fitness Center gymnasium a little disappointed.
