UPLAND, Ind. — Less than 24 hours after the Goshen College volleyball team experienced the euphoria of a straight-set conference win, the Maple Leafs got the other side of the coin in a 25-15, 25-16, 25-11 loss at Taylor University on Saturday afternoon.

Kelly Arnold pounded out 12 kills for the Trojans (15-14, 11-7 Crossroads League), who finished with double-digit winners in each set and hit .204 for the match. Whitney Peterson had nine kills for Goshen (16-16, 6-11), which was hampered by 24 attack errors.

Kelsey Smith led Goshen with 12 assists, followed by Lisa Rodriguez with 10. Natalie Hubby posted a pair of solo blocks and Ciana Bonfiglio finished with the lone Maple Leaf ace.

Despite the defeat, Goshen clinched a spot in the conference tournament when ninth-place Marian lost at St. Francis. The Maple Leafs' final placing will be decided Wednesday night in the regular-season finale.

Four days from now, the Maple Leaf bus driver will have déjà vu as Goshen visits Indiana Wesleyan, whose campus is 12 miles from Taylor's, with first serve set for 7 p.m.

More, including comments from Goshen head coach Jim Routhier, to come when available.
