Tonight, KWC takes the court in the G-MAC quarterfinals against Trevecca in Cedarville, Ohio. First serve is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. CT.
"It was a tough match," said head coach
Eric Hagan. "Ursuline is a very good team. I was proud of the way we played and the way we handled ourselves. I was proud of them. It was a great day to go out for the seniors. They played well and gave great effort and had a lot of energy."
The Panthers finished the regular season 15-12 with a 7-4 record in G-MAC play.Â
Summer Alford leads the team in kills with 258,

When asked to assess the tournament, Hagan responded: "We have beaten Trevecca twice this season and it is very difficult to beat a team three times. I feel good about where we are and I have been saying it now for about the last three to four weeks."
The winner of the match will face the host Cedarville on Friday.
