McPherson, Kan. – The Central Christian College of Kansas Women's Volleyball team capped off their last regular season home match with senior night against Langston University. Before the game, they honored their 5 seniors with a nice tribute surrounded by their families and friends. The Tigers came into the game looking to rebound from a loss suffered last week.
They responded very well as they kicked off the first set on an 8-2 run. Langston would not go away easy though, later in the first set they pulled within two to make the score 21-19 in favor of Central. The Tigers would finish off the Lions in the first set winning it 26-24 and taking a 1-0 lead in the match. The second set followed the same suit as it was a tight, back and forth match until near the end of the set. With a 20-17 lead, Central scored five straight points to win the set 25-17 and go up 2-0 in the match.
The third set was again a back-and-forth thriller, and with a 8-7 lead, the Tigers used another five point run to increase their lead to 13-7. They would close out the Lions utilizing yet another run of five straight points to win the set 25-18. This would give them the win over the Lions in straight sets.
