GREENVILLE, Pennsylvania - February 25, 2023 - Hiram battled hard but the offense of Thiel proved to be too much in a straight set loss on Saturday afternoon: 25-16, 25-14, 25-13. The Tomcats improved to 5-1 in conference play, while the Terriers dropped to 3-3.

Thiel's balanced effort was apparent in each set, as it held Hiram below 20 points and kept pressure on them. Hiram could not muster a lead larger than 2 throughout the match.

The Terriers ended set one with 16 points but could not get that fire back, ending set two with 13 points and set three with 14.
 
Despite the loss, freshman Cullen Sivak had 6 kills to lead the team. That total was also his 2nd-most in any career game (9 vs Penn State Altoona).

Stay tuned for the Hiram's next matchup, when it faces off against Eastern Mennonite on March 4 in Virginia.
