KANSAS CITY, MO- The Miners got back to GLVC play after a weekend at the Midwest Regional Crossover. While S&T looked to extend their winning streak to seven games, the Hawks of Rockhurst University proved to be too much as they defeated the Miners in straight sets (9-25, 19-25, 30-32).

Rockhurst would go on and 12-5 run to regain the lead, and score the final four points of the set to take the 25-19 win and a 2-0 match lead.

S&T didn't go down easily. After tying the set for the fifth time at 18-18, the Miners and Hawks would trade points past 25.

With the score tied at 30-30, Rockhurst would get back-to-back kills from Karli Reichert to take the 32-30 set three and match win.
