The Siena Heights Women's Volleyball Team travelled to UM-Dearborn needing a win or a loss in five sets to UM-Dearborn to clinch a playoff berth. The Saints fell short of that feat, losing in four sets.
The Saints and Wolves played three lopsided games before a tight fourth game ensured the Wolves of the final playoff spot. The Saints dropped the first game by a score of 25-15 before rebounding to win 25-10 in the second game. The third game was once again lopsided with the Wolves winning 25-13. In the fourth and eventual playoff making game, the teams had to battle extra points for a winner with UM-Dearborn winning 28-26.
Leading the way for the Saints was Nikki Hughes with 17 kills. Melissa Hall led the team with 22 assists and Kelsie Cadieux led the team with four aces. Abbie Stein had 23 digs while Hughes added 17 and Hall added 16.
With the loss, the Saints fall to 8-23 on the season and 2-12 in the WHAC. The WHAC season ends with a three way tie between Siena Heights, Concordia, and UM-Dearborn for the final three positions. With only six teams qualifying for the conference tournament a tiebreaker had to be utilized to see who would move on. The Saints came up short on the tiebreaker and finish with the #7 position in the tiebreaker, one spot out of the conference playoffs. The Saints will end their season on Thursday night when they travel to Spring Arbor.
