WINONA LAKE, Ind. - The Indiana University Southeast volleyball team had mixed success in its final two matches of the 2009 Grace College Classic on Saturday afternoon in Winona Lake, Ind.

In the final performance of the tournament, IU Southeast fell to Huntington University 3-1. IU Southeast won the first set before falling in the next three sets to lose the match. Huntington defeated the Grenadiers 14-25, 25-20, 25-23, 25-20.

Tickets for the match are $8 for adults. Students, faculty and staff of IU Southeast can gain free admission to all IU Southeast athletic events with UCard.
