LANSING, Mich. - Great Lakes Christian College women's volleyball is still looking for a win after a four-game home stretch this weekend against Appalachian Bible College and Dayspring Bible College.

On Friday night, Great Lakes faced Applachian Bible in a pair of games. Despite a close second set, ABC won game one in straight sets, 25-12, 26-14, 25-15. In game two, the first three sets were all closely contested, GLCC winning the second set, but Appalachian cruised in set four to win 3-1 (25-22, 24-26, 25-20, 25-13).

GLCC took a 5-0 lead in the third set but could not hold on to it, losing 28-26, and Dayspring closed out the fourth set, 25-21, to win 3-1.

The second game followed a similar pattern: the teams split the first two sets (25-22, 20-25) and fought a long third set which Dayspring pulled out, 26-24. Great Lakes couldn't keep up in set four and Dayspring cruised to a 25-13 win to seal the match.
