LINDSBORG, Kan. (BethanySwedes.com) – Bethany College hosted the Kansas Wesleyan University Coyotes, Wednesday, October 30th, in a weekday matchup. The Swedes fell short and the Coyotes got the sweep.
Set 1: Rough start for the Swedes as they quickly fell into a five-point deficient, 0-5, right out of the gate. Bethany tried to chip away at the lead but the Coyotes maintained control and finished the set, 16-25.
Set 2: The second set would be the most promising look for the Swedes as they kept Kansas Wesleyan from only gaining a two to three-point lead over them. The Swedes even tied up the set at 18-18 after going on a five-point run and took the lead at 19-18 before the Coyotes were able to side-out. Unfortunately, the Swedes were able to hang on and Kansas Wesleyan would go on to take the second set, 20-25.
Set 3: The final set of the night got started much like the first set with the Swedes starting at a disadvantage after the Coyotes went on a six-point run, 1-7. Bethany went to work and managed to cut the deficient down to two at 13-15, but Kansas Wesleyan was able to shift momentum back into their favor. The Coyotes extended their lead once again and finished the set at 18-25.
