Box Score Playing its first Homecoming match since 2009, the Lancaster Bible women's volleyball team lost to Eastern Mennonite, 3-0 on Saturday morning at Horst Athletic Center. 

The opening set proved to be the best of the match as there were four lead changes and the teams battled back-and-forth for much of the set.
