Mount St. Joseph Earns Two Wins against Anderson

Mount St. Joseph University (7-3, 4-1) earned two victories against the Anderson University volleyball team (1-6, 0-4) on Saturday in O.C. Lewis Gymnasium.

During the opening match, which counts towards Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference (HCAC) play, Mount St. Joseph secured a 25-17, 20-25, 25-22, 25-13 win. The Lions took Match 2, which is considered non-conference action, by a score of 25-20, 25-20, 22-25, 25-23.

"We had some positives from [Saturday's] matches, but unfortunately, our lack of discipline seems to outshine those great moments," Coach Tami Miller said.
