This weekend, the Lions volleyball team traveled to Minneapolis, MN for two games. Their first competition was a Friday night match against Anoka-Ramsey Community College, followed by their second meet up with North Central University on Saturday afternoon.

Trinity Lions vs Anoka-Ramsey Community College

The Lions started the night strong as they soundly took the first set against Anoka-Ramsey, winning 25-16. However, Anoka-Ramsey answered back in the second set to flip the score, the Lions falling short 16-25. The Lions were determined to keep fighting. They took the third set with a score of 25-21, and made an extremely close fourth set, losing 27-29.
