COLUMBIA, Mo.-- The University of Mobile volleyball team saw its dream season come to an end at the NAIA National Tournament Friday morning when the Lady Rams dropped a 1-game playoff to Campbellsville 30-19.
Campbellsville will move on to face Columbia in another 1-game playoff to determine the 10th member of the single-elimination bracket.
For a program in only its 3rd year of competition, the Lady Rams made tremendous strides in solidifying themselves as a force to be reckoned with on the national stage. Mobile finishes the season 36-7. The Lady Rams put up solid performances in their pool, despite having to battle #4 Biola (Calif), #6 Columbia (Mo.) and #24 Campbellsville (Ky.).
Mobile earned the Regular Season Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Championship and won the Region XIII Tournament. The Lady Rams spent a large part of the season receiving votes in the NAIA Top-25, but could not crack the top-25 despite continuing to win matches.
