ORANGEBURG, SC - The Claflin Lady Panthers (9-7, 5-6 CIAA) could not quite find their way when the team took a three-set loss to the Saint Augustine's Falcons (7-9, 7-4 CIAA), Thursday evening. The Lady Panthers gave a strong effort, but the team could not find any answers for the Falcons' offense in the 14-25, 22-25, and 17-25 loss.
 
There was no shortage of effort for the Lady Panthers, but the team could not get their offense in gear in the loss. As a team, the Lady Panthers totaled just 23 kills in the match. Junior utility Keymara Coleman and senior middle hitter Taneja Robinson both totaled five kills each to lead the team. Junior defensive specialist Jada Buckhanon totaled 12 digs to lead the Lady Panthers' defensive effort.
 
With the loss, the Lady Panthers fall to 9-7 overall and 5-6 in Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) play. The team will return to action, Monday, when the team takes on the Johnson C. Smith Golden Bulls in a 6:00 p.m. match.
