The Tiger volleyball team got off to a strong start but was unable to hold off No. 3 Concordia-Irvine, falling to the Eagles in three games to open the College of St. Mary Classic. Game scores were 30-28, 25-14, 25-20. Concordia fought off five game-points in the first game and used the momentum to win easily in game two. Doane battled back in game three but a late run by the Eagles was too much for the Tigers to overcome.
Terra Andreasen (Fr.; Bellevue, Neb.) led Doane with 14 kills. Jessy Livers (Jr.; Lincoln, Neb.) added seven kills and four blocks for Doane. Chelsee Marvin (Sr.; Crete, Neb.) added four blocks for the Tigers.
Ashley Sluka (Sr.; Milligan, Neb.) posted 13 assists and 12 digs while Heather Davison (So.; Lincoln, Neb.) added 12 assists, 11 digs and two ace serves.
