Mattke had a team high 10 kills and added 15 digs but HU fell to 9-2 overall on the season.

After a 17-25 loss in the second set, Hamline got on the board with a 25-21 win in the third set. They sprinted to a 10-4 lead in the fourth set and late led had a 18-15 edge. But Loras rattled off 10 points in a row to take the match.

In addition to Mattke on offense, Stephanie Kaup and Katie Ayres had nine kills each. Amelia Jensen had a career best 30 assists and Lynsey Reimer had 18 digs. Reimer was named to the All-Tournament team.
