McPherson, Kan. – In some of the closest matches of their season, McPherson volleyball dropped their home opener to the Bethany College Swedes 1-3 (25-22, 22-25, 15-25, 23-24) on Tuesday.
This puts MC’s record at 1-9 overall, 0-2 in the KCAC while Bethany stays undefeated in conference at 2-0 and is 3-4 for the season.
The match started off fast with both teams ready to prove they were the best team on the court. When MC took the first game, Bethany roared back and took the second by the same score.
