ASHLAND, Ohio- The Greyhound volleyball team regrouped with a split during the final day of action at the Ashland Invitational on Saturday. After dropping the morning match to North Alabama, 3-1, UIndy rallied for a three-game sweep over Palm Beach Atlantic in the afternoon match.

Lynne Ross led the Hounds' offense with 16 kills and a .333 hit percentage. Karla Mast recorded a double-double with 13 kills and 19 digs.
