DETROIT, Mich. - The Wayne State volleyball team (1-9, 1-4 GLIAC) was unable to sweep its first home weekend series, falling, 3-1, to Gannon on Parents Day at the Matthaei on Saturday afternoon.
Gannon led wire-to-wire in the first game, resulting in a 30-25 win for the Golden Knights.
Wayne State stormed back in game two, however, taking a 9-3 lead early on and, despite Gannon cutting the lead to one, went on to put the game away, 30-19.
Gannon took the next two games, which were closely contested as neither team led by more than five points in either, by a score of 30-25.
