UPLAND, Ind. – The season for Grace's volleyball team came to a conclusion on Saturday.

Grace fell to Taylor in three sets in the quarterfinals of the Crossroads League Tournament.

The Lady Lancers battled injuries throughout the season to earn a spot in the CL Tournament, playing a number of different lineups to cope with its changing list of available players.

On Saturday, Grace's offense was quiet with 26 kills on a .021 percentage. The No. 11 Trojans, conversely, had 41 kills on a .312 percentage.

Grace fell into an early hole as Taylor jumped out to a 6-1 lead to begin the first set.

The Lady Lancers battled back to within two at 10-8, but the Trojans countered with a 6-2 run to boost their lead. Taylor eased away for a 26-15 win.

The second set had a similar theme. TU won seven of the first eight points to take control early.  The teams played even for the rest of the set, but Grace was unable to make a significant push and lost by eight.

In the third set, Grace fell behind early again 5-1. The Lady Lancers stayed within range, however. 

Late in the set, Jadyn Ross picked up an ace and a kill on back-to-back plays. Cassadi Colbert followed up with another kill to pull Grace within two at 21-19.

The Trojans responded with two points in a row, which was enough to keep Grace at bay. TU held on late to win 25-21 to clinch the quarterfinal match.

Ross and Colbert led Grace's attack with six kills apiece, and Alisha Leffring and Katie Swanson added five kills each. Grace Erwin led Grace's back row with eight digs, Riley Owens had six digs with 11 assists, and Paige Vander Goot had six digs and three aces.

The match officially wraps up the strong careers of seniors Erwin, Swanson, Jadyn Block and Emily Peterson.
