COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Capital University volleyball team took in two losses in its tri-match at Albion College. The Crusaders lost in straight sets in both matches, first to Adrian College (Mich.) and then to host Albion later in the day.

ADRIAN 3, CAPITAL 0 (25-22, 25-20, 25-14)

Capital's first match of the day was against the Bulldogs of Adrian College. The Crusaders lost an early advantage when they held a 22-18 lead and was unable to sustain it to the end. Adrian came back to rattle off a seven-point run to end the first set.

Adrian kept the momentum going and took the next two sets by scores of 25-20 and 25-14, though Capital's hit percentages and error numbers both improved over the course of the match.

Senior Koryne VanScoy tied Hale for the team lead with 14 digs on the day. Freshman setter Jenay Kocsis (Marysville, Ohio/Fairbanks) had 12 assists.
