Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 Try as they may, the Lancaster Bible men's volleyball team just couldn't get the big point when they needed it on Wednesday night. In both of its losses on Wednesday night at Horst Athletic Center, Lancaster Bible came within one or two points of having something very special happen, but just couldn't put all of the pieces together.
