"It is always tough playing on the road," said head coach Anna Allison, whose team forced a fifth set after trailing 2-0 one night earlier at Loyola. "We traded momentum with Loyola and did a good job fighting back. We did the same thing against a very good American team today, unfortunately we did not finish the weekend like we had hoped. We have a lot of work to do this week in practice as we continue to make progress in the Patriot League."
