Lipscomb volleyball ended the season as they were swept 3-0 by No. 14-seed UCLA Friday night at the John Wooden Center.
Lipscomb was defeated in three sets: 25-10, 25-22, and 25-15.
“It was an off night for us,” Lipscomb coach Brandon Rosenthal said. “Unfortunately that off night concludes the season.”
Freshman outside hitter Carly Nusbaum had her tournament debut, leading the Bisons with 11 kills.
“I was definitely nervous at the beginning,” Nusbaum said. “I thought about it and I had 14 other girls who I know had my back and I had theirs.”
Senior middle blocker Molly Spitznagle played her final game of the season with six kills and .250 hitting percentage.
“It was very tough,” Spitznagle said. “It was not the way we wanted to go out. There are the ‘what ifs’ but we can’t let this take away from the season.”
Rosenthal said he is proud of what they have accomplished this season.
“We will take this and learn from it,” he said. “As I have told the girls, and we have been able to say this for quite a few years in a row, the future looks bright.”
