MONTEVALLO, Ala. – The Georgia College women's volleyball squad (7-11, 2-8 PBC) put the University of Montevallo (15-7, 7-3 PBC) to work Tuesday night. The Bobcats battled each set but fell 3-1.

The Bobcats entered the Falcons' arena ready for strong competition. Montevallo took an early lead in the match by winning the first set 25-19. The Bobcats pounced on the Falcons in the second set, taking it 25-17. The last two sets were full of action as well, but Montevallo came out on top ending them 28-26 and 25-22, respectively.

After knotting the score up three times early in the second set, the Bobcats were able to put together multiple runs that earned them consecutive points leading to their win. Maggie Roper (Buford, Georgia) and Miller Howard (Suwanee, Georgia) led the charge on the front row during that set.
