Corinne Parker led the Pioneers with 14 kills, while Julie Jakse picked up 20 digs and Abby Jester had 4 service aces to lead the team to victory. The volleyball team then faced John Glenn on Wednesday, November 2 and fell short in four sets. Which means, unfortunately, the tournament run is over for the Lady Pioneers.
