The Hillsdale College volleyball team couldn't pull off a second come-from behind win in the 2026 Midwest Regional Crossover on Saturday in Hammond, Indiana, falling short in five sets to Maryville to end the event 1-2.

The Chargers rallied from a 1-0 deficit with a dominant 25-13 set two victory and a 2-1 deficit with a 25-19 victory in set four, but despite jumping out to 4-0 and 6-3 leads in set five, couldn't hold on in a 15-10 final set defeat to fall to the Saints.

Hillsdale outhit Maryville .302 to .230 and finished with the same number of kills (66) as the Saints, but struggled to finish sets, giving up eight straight points to blow a 20-17 lead and lose set one 25-20, and giving up four straight points to surrender a 24-22 lead in set three in a 26-24 loss.

Hillsdale's two top attackers in the Crossover, Taylor Brownsword and Taylor Cook, continued to excel and lead the way for the Chargers, each contributing 17 kills in the match, Marcelina Gorny added 11 and five total blocks, and Ellie Fles chipped in nine kills and four total blocks as well for the Chargers. Molly Kennedy also had a big match up front for the Chargers, with seven kills and eight total blocks.

Chloe Pierce led Hillsdale defensively with 21 digs and two aces, Ella Byrum chipped in 14 digs, and Madison Peal and Hannah Baker each added 10 digs and two aces. Setter Grace Drake assisted on 53 kills and added 12 digs and four blocks as well for the Chargers.

Hillsdale is now 10-11 overall, 5-4 in G-MAC play and will look to contend for a home quarterfinal game in the G-MAC tournament with six conference matches down the stretch before the tourney. Next is a 7 p.m. match against Ursuline on Oct. 23 at home, followed by a 10 a.m. match the next day, Oct. 24, against Lake Erie.
