WILBERFORCE, Ohio --The Notre Dame Falcons snapped a four match losing streak on Saturday afternoon's tri-match, as they defeated Central State, and lost to the Cumberlands (Ky.).

Notre Dame took the first set in the second match, 25-15, but then lost three very close sets.  The Cumberlands evened the match with a 25-22 victory in the second set, before winning 25-20 in the third, and won the match in a tight, 26-24 decision in the final set. 

Brianne SCHMANSKY and Lauren TURNER led the Falcons on the day with 23 and 22 kills respectively, while Chandler MASS turned in 85 assists on the afternoon.  Sophomore Kelsey SWORDS paced NDC defensively with 34 digs.
