CHICAGO, Ill. -- Loyola Chicago took the Indiana Hoosiers to four sets, ultimately falling, 3-1 (15-25, 19-25, 25-19, 16-25), Friday night. 

Loyola falls to 3-5 on the season.

"That's a really good Indiana team," said head coach Amanda Berkley. "They're physical and fast, so it is tough to keep up at times. Our right sides, Josie and Karli, had a nice match offensively and gave us some good moments. I am glad we fought and won that third set. We're getting more cohesive and have to keep working on those little things."

Karli Molnau finished with nine kills on the day to lead the Ramblers, while Loyola got 13 digs from Sam Falk along with five blocks from Avary DeBlieck to lead them defensively.
