Box Score The Lindenwood women's volleyball team fell on Saturday afternoon 3-1 to Missouri Western in a conference match-up in St. Joseph, Mo.

Lindenwood could not hold on to that lead as Missouri Western answered back with three of their own to take the set, scoring on a Griffon kill and two attack errors by the Lady Lions.

The second set defeat carried over into set three, as Lindenwood found themselves in a 6-0 hole early in the set. The Lady Lions brought it to within one in the middle of the set at 14-13, but seven straight points late for the Griffons sealed the deal in set three, holding an eight point margin over the Lady Lions.

Set four started as a back-and-forth battle between the two teams, but when the set was at 11-all, the Griffons went on a 14-3 run, ultimately taking set four 25-14.
