MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – The Georgia College volleyball team (6-23) and head coach Gretchen Krumdieck ended the inaugural season on a high note, winning their final match of the season Saturday in the Centennial Center against the Paine College Lions (9-21).

The Bobcats took the first three sets of the match, 25-14, 25-13, and 25-4.
