McPherson College's Sport Center magic finally disappeared Tuesday night, as Tabor came in and handed the Bulldog volleyball team a rare home loss.

The Bluejays swept the Bulldogs in three, 30-19, 30-24 and 30-27. Mac is now 9-8 in the KCAC and 18-11 overall with one match left to play, Thursday at Saint Mary.

"We didn't show up to play, even though we were still in games two and three," McPherson coach Nathalea Stephenson said. "This was a very disappointing match because it was Senior Night and we had our third-grade pen pals here."
