Kylie Myers had 10 kills, a block and five aces to lead Brandywine, which also got eight kills each from Kristen Alvord and Bethany Duval. Clara DePriest finished the match with 20 assists, three digs and six aces. Liz Stockdale added 12 assists.

The Bucks fell to the Bears out of the SMAC 25-21, 25-21 and 25-18.

Katie Schau led Buchanan with seven kills and five digs. Lauren Strefling had three dig and two aces, while Claire Shelton finished with 16 assists.

The Bucks, who are now 9-14 overall, are beginning to look toward the postseason.

“Looking ahead to conference and districts, my team really has to focus on getting our serve-receive passing more consistent,” said Buchanan coach Shelly Bender. “We have great hitters, but if we can’t pass a great ball, it’s hard to get the hitters a great set. I am confident that my girls will be better themselves in getting better passers to our setter. My team is very young, but they are getting better in each game, and I know by the time we reach the conference tournament, they will be ready to face anyone.”

Buchanan is back in action Monday when it hosts New Buffalo in a BCS match.
