RIVER FALLS, Wis. - (csssaints.com) The St. Scholastica women's volleyball team was defeated by the University of Wisconsin-River Falls in three sets on Wednesday, ending the Saints' four-match winning streak. 

The Action
The first set saw the Saints lose with a score of 25-21, the closest set of the match. The Falcon offense outplayed the Saints, recording 13 kills to the Saints' nine, which gave them the advantage. In the second set, CSS was unable to get anything rolling, only managing a hitting percentage of .100. Fourteen kills by River Falls was too much for the Saints to handle, and they fell with a score of 25-17.
