HIRAM, Ohio – The Geneva women's volleyball team traveled across the border to Ohio Wednesday night to take on the top team in the Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) in the Hiram Terriers. Unfortunately, the GTs never found their stride, falling to Hiram in three sets (10-25, 14-25, 9-25). Geneva's record drops to 5-21 overall, 2-11 in the PAC, while the Terriers remain atop the conference standings with a 12-1 PAC record, 21-2 overall.
Things didn't get off to a great start for the women, who fell behind 9-1 right at the outset of the first frame. The GTs were able to play the hosts even over the next several minutes, but eight consecutive Hiram points midway through the set allowed the Terriers to take it 25-10. They gained another early advantage in set two, soaring in front 7-2, and the Golden Tornadoes were unable to narrow the gap to less than four points the rest of the way, losing the set 25-14.
It was more of the same in the third set, which saw Hiram seize a 15-6 advantage. The Terriers outscored Geneva 10-1 down the stretch to complete the sweep.
Junior
