HIRAM, Ohio - March 31, 2026 - The Hiram Terriers defeated Bethany College in a three-set match on Wednesday evening at Price Gymnasium. The Terriers won 25-18, 25-15, and 25-16, with the beginning and end of the sets being the most dominant part for the Terriers, as they found their form after previously losing to Bethany in four sets earlier in the season.

Cullen Sivak and Dakotah Welsh shined, each having nine kills and hitting over .300 (Welsh hitting .353 and Sivak hitting .313). Kekoa Tani also shined with seven kills and having 15 assists. 

Gavin Stewart came in the game in the third set and made a statement, collecting three kills and hitting 1.000.
