DOWAGIAC – Macomb Volleyball's two-match win streak came to an end in non-conference action Wednesday (Sept. 25) at Southwestern Michigan College. The Monarchs (5-12) won the opening set, but the host Roadrunners rallied to win the next three and notch their 14^th win of the season in the process.
 
The opening set score went in favor of the Monarchs, 25-21, before the Roadrunners rattled off wins of 25-15, 25-17 and 25-11.
 
Paige Elliott (Livonia, Mich./Detroit Country Day) continued to be a game changer Wednesday with an impressive stat line of 30 assists, 19 digs and a pair of aces. Kara Beeker (Warren, Mich./Warren Woods Tower) led the attack with 12 kills and was followed by Jordan Pflaum (Shelby Twp., Mich./Lutheran High North) with nine, Hadley Schaefer (Harrison Twp., Mich./Parkway Christian) with six and Grace Amoe (Harrison Twp., Mich./L'Anse Creuse) with five.
 
Amoe went error-free on 16 total attempts to record a team-best .313 hitting percentage.

Kaley Eller (Utica, Mich./Utica) paced the team defensively at the net with three block assists while Pflaum followed with two of her own. Amoe recorded the team's lone solo block and added a block assist in the four-set setback.
