CLEVELAND, Tenn.-Five-set matches have not been kind to the Lee University volleyball team.

The latest came on Saturday afternoon in a heart-breaking 3-2 (25-20, 25-23, 13-25, 21-25. 15-13) GSC loss to visiting University of Montevallo inside Walker Arena.
The defeat dropped Lee to 1-2 in conference play and 7-8 overall while the Falcons improved to 2-1, 5-8. The Lady Flames will return to road action for three straight matches beginning on Tuesday evening when they face Union University where Coach Christa Fabre was the former assistant coach.
