(NORTH CANTON, Ohio) – The Walsh volleyball team fell to visiting Michigan Tech 3-1 in GLIAC action on Friday evening. Despite falling in the first two sets 25-14 and 25-18, the Cavaliers (5-10, 1-6) took the third 28-26 and was close to forcing a fifth, but the Huskies (7-9, 4-4) took the fourth 25-20.

The third set was back-and-forth for the duration with neither team taking a lead of more than four points. That belonged to Tech at 20-14, but the Cavaliers were able to rebound and tie the game at 22-22.

Facing match point at 24-23 and again at 26-25, the Cavs didn't give up and stayed alive after a Lauren Loucks kill and a pair of Husky attack errors.
