The Malone University volleyball team dropped a four-set match to Findlay in front of an enthusiastic Senior Day crowd 20-25, 25-20, 19-25, 17-25.

The Pioneers traded points with the Oilers for much of the first three sets, before Findlay closed out the match with a strong fourth-set effort.

Haley Kool finished with 7 kills while Jordan Cloyd added 6 kills and 4 service aces. Maggie Hamrock chipped in with 3 service aces. Setter Cathryn Miller assisted on 30 of Malone's 35 kills.

Defensively, Haley Kool led the way with 7 blocks while Senior Sarah Brent tied a career-high with 6 blocks. Hamrock collected a team-high 11 digs while Maczuzak earned her 7th double-double of the season, collecting 10 digs.
