GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Campbellsville received a rude welcome to the Panther Invitational at Davenport University today, losing both ends of a two-match first day, 3-1 and 3-0.

19-25, 28-26, 18-25 and 16-25.

Jana Kortas collected a match-high 17 kills, but 16 team service errors cut off any potential rallies as Saint Xavier (14-11) pulled away in the fourth set and pinned a 3-1 loss on CU (7-18, 3-6 MSC).

Campbellsville fell behind 20-11 in the first set before making it interesting by scoring eight of the next 13 points.

In set two, CU rallied from a 22-18 deficit and used a Kortas kill and an Xavier attack error to seal the 26-24 win.

Xavier gradually pulled away in the third set, distancing itself after CU closed within 9-8.

The Lady Tigers never led in fourth set in a 25-16 loss.

Brianna Harman and Jade Nelson had six kills apiece and Aleksandra Popovic and Rachel DeCoursey had five each. Jackie Schwieger collected 31 of CU's 40 assists and Kortas and Marcella Compeau had double figure digs with 14 and 13, respectively.
