ROMEOVILLE, Ill. – The UIndy volleyball team (18-10, 11-5 GLVC) tied the match at one set apiece, but failed to overcome the No. 22 Lewis Flyers (22-6, 13-3 GLVC) on their senior night in Neil Carey Arena on Tuesday evening.
 
The Flyers finished the 2018 home portion of its schedule undefeated for the third time in 10 seasons.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
The Greyhounds used a 16-5 run in the second set to even the match, but Lewis hit .339 the final two frames to down the visitors in four.
 
Two Hounds finished the match with double-digit kills, with Katie Furlong leading the team with 13, while Julia Kruzan had 11 on .333 hitting. UIndy totaled eight blocks in the loss compared to the Flyers' seven, the second time in four matches the team has stopped at least eight opposing shots.
 
Sophomore libero Olivia Martin paced the Hounds with 16 digs, while Jena Davis (12) and Furlong (11) also reached double figures.
 
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
Four of the team's eight blocks on Tuesday were solo stops, two coming from each of Emily Ellis and Katie Voelz. Voelz now leads the team with 16 solo blocks this season, while Ellis has 14.
 
Furlong now ranks third in program history for a sophomore with 456 kills. The Galena, Ill. native is now 47 kills away from tying the UIndy record in the category as a second-year player.
