GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Campbellsville went up against a couple of 20-win teams today on Day 2 of the Panther Invitational at Davenport University, suffering two three-set losses.
Viterbo and Trinity Christian were familiar foes, having beaten the Lady Tigers in three sets on separate weekends in Wisconsin and Illinois earlier in the season.

Viterbo (23-4) out-killed CU 46-27 and won 25-17, 25-18 and 25-15.

Campbellsville (7-20, 3-6 MSC) was led by Jade Nelson (8) and Rachel DeCoursey (7) in kills while Krista Mihelsone had 24 of the team's 26 assists.
Â
Viterbo's Alicia Olson led everyone with 20 kills and 11 digs.
Â
Trinity Christian (20-7) was actually out-killed 37-36 by the Lady Tigers, but CU made 32 attack errors — 20 more than its opponent — and that led to the 25-20, 25-15 and 25-19 losses.
Â
CU (7-22, 3-6 MSC) was led by Brianna Harman's 11 kills on a .273 hitting percentage. Jana Kortas added nine kills. Mihelsone had 30 assists and Kortas was high in digs with eight.
