Volleyball Held Off by Loyola Chicago on Senior Day
11/16/2024 4:13:00 PM | Women's Volleyball
WASHINGTON - Despite another narrow battle with Loyola Chicago, the GW volleyball team was defeated in three sets in its regular season finale.
BY THE NUMBERS
Leading the way on the program's Senior Day was four-year veteran Salem Yohannes, who registered eight kills, two service aces and three digs. Behind Yohannes was junior Cianna Tejada, who rallied seven kills and five blocks. Setters Dilara Elmacıoğlu and Abby Markworth paced the attack with a combined 25 assists, while at libero, Reilly Heinrich held down the back row with 19 digs.
HOW IT HAPPENED
In the first, GW out-hit Loyola 13-12, and with seven ties, the momentum was constantly shifting between the two teams. In the final moments of the opening frame, the Ramblers rallied to claim the set at 25-22.
In the second, the margins remained narrow, but Loyola took the upper hand on the attack, putting down 16 kills to outlast GW's eight. Despite Loyola's advantage on offense, the lead remained tight, with the lead fluctuating four times over the course of the set. However, once again, Loyola was able to claim the edge late and end things at 25-23.
In the afternoon's final frame, GW was unable to claim the lead with the Ramblers going on numerous scoring runs to eventually seal the match at 25-15.
UP NEXT
The volleyball program will now turn its attention to the A-10 Championship tournament beginning Friday in Dayton, Ohio. After earning a spot in the six-team field, GW will now await its seed and opponent, which will be announced by the conference office shortly.
