SIOUX CITY, Iowa – The No. 10-ranked Corban University volleyball team was unable to overcome a .140 hitting percentage en route to a straight-set defeat to No. 7 Park University (Mo.) on Thursday afternoon (25-20, 25-16, 25-20). The Warriors still advance to the NAIA Final 16 as the No. 2 seed from Pool G, however, and will take on the No. 1 seed from Pool H, Grand View University at 7 a.m. PST on Friday morning.

The loss snapped Corban's nine-match winning streak which dated back to over a month ago on October 20. 

Corban's .140 hitting mark was its third lowest of the year, as the Warriors totaled 36 kills and 19 errors. Alaina Gentili led the way with 11 kills on a .320 hitting mark, while Amber Parker tallied six and Marandah Boeder five. Demi Winters and Bethany Filipenko were both efficient on the night, as Winters totaled three kills at a .500 hitting clip, while Filipenko registered five kills at a .625 hitting mark.

Both Madison Milligan and Cierra Leopoldino totaled 17 kills apiece, while Parker led the way defensively with 20 digs. At the net, the Warriors (26-8) totaled nine blocks, but defensively for the Pirates (32-3), they racked up 62 digs to Corban's 48 digs.

There will be a WATCH PARTY in the Riady Board Room on Corban's campus for the 7 a.m. first serve. FREE DONUTS and COFFEE will be provided to anyone in attendance.
