Hannibal, MO – The Hannibal-LaGrange University Women's Volleyball Team hosted Central Baptist College in the Semifinal round of the American Midwest Conference Women's Volleyball Tournament.  The Trojans were seeded third and faced the Mustangs who were ranked sixth.  HLGU came out and controlled much of the first set and the trend continued through the second set.  But the momentum changed in the third set as CBC started to get things going on offense.  The Trojans struggled to terminate balls and started watching balls drop on the defensive side of the ball which caused the Mustangs to win the third set.  The ladies battled in the fourth set and won by two in extended play to close out the match.
