ROMEOVILLE, Ill. – A back-to-back stretch of conference action was capped off this afternoon with the University of Indianapolis volleyball team dropping a contest on the road in four sets to No. 21 Lewis. The loss moves the Hounds down to 11-12 on the season with a 7-4 mark in the Great Lakes Valley Conference.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
Set one went in favor of the visiting Greyhounds, who battled the Flyers past the 25-point mark in a back-and-forth contest. Most notably, the set saw the score knotted up at 11, 18, and 26 a piece at one point. However, it was a consecutive pair of attack errors by the Flyers that lifted UIndy to the 28-26 advantage.
