The Belmont volleyball team lost their start of season momentum last night with a loss to Lipscomb in the Battle of the Boulevard for the second year in a row.
The Bison took the lead early in set one with a strong attack.
A big kill from the Bruins brought the energy back to the Curb and tied it up at 9-9.
Belmont got away from their groove again, losing the first set 25-19.
Set two started similarly with Lipscomb getting on the board first.
The Bruins were able to get a 4-0 run later in the set but it was not enough to catch up, dropping the second 25-19.
The third set was difficult for Belmont as they could not find their rhythm.
But the arena came back to life after the Bruins won a challenge called by Lipscomb.
In the end, Belmont could not finish it to stay in the game, falling to the Bison 25-17 in set three.
Redshirt sophomore Brenna Kauffeld led the Bruins with 8 kills while Redshirt junior Bella Mathis led the team with 5 blocks.
Belmont travels to the North Dakota Classic this weekend, playing the University of North Dakota first on Sept. 12 at 7 p.m. CT.
The game will be available to stream on ESPN+.
