Yellow Jackets Snap Oilers Win Streak

The University of Findlay volleyball team suffered a 3-1 (25-23, 21-25, 14-25, 23-25) loss to Cedarville University on Tuesday, September 20.  The loss ends the Oilers six match win streak and puts them at 6-4 on the season (2-0 in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference), while Cedarville bumps their record to 9-2.
