Cleveland State welcomed nationally ranked Wallace State to their gym for their volleyball home season opener.
The Cougars couldn't pull out the win, but were able to take a set, losing 3-1.
"I am really proud of the effort we put up tonight," head coach Peyton McDaniel said. "Still settling into a new lineup and taking a set off of a ranked opponent is a huge step in the right direction for us."
Wallace State took the first set 25-22, then the Cougars came back taking set two by the same score. Wallace State went on a run the final two sets winning 25-14 and 25-12 to take the match.
"Being able to play at home in front of friends and family created a good atmosphere for us and we're looking forward to building off of tonight going forward," McDaniel said.
