Box Score They were so close they could taste victory. Hamline's volleyball team took Wis-Platteville to the wall on their home court Friday night. But the Pioneers came up with points when they needed them and dealt the Pipers a 3-0 loss. 

After dropping the first set by 25-19, HU was tied at 21 in the second and third sets only to see UWP break away for a pair of 25-22 triumphs. Morgen Coleman and Marisa Franco led the offense with five kills each. Coleman had a solid night overall, adding 15 assists, seven digs and two service aces. The sophomore leads the MIAC in the latter category and is a close second in service aces per set at 0.53.
