Angie Ardiles led STU's defensive effort with 14 digs, but the Bobcats just didn't have enough to beat the Sailfish and fell 25-13, 25-21, 25-13.

St. Thomas maintains their second place position in the conference with a 9-2 record (10-3 overall).  The Bobcats will play four matches this weekend in the Clearwater Christian Invitational in Clearwater, Fla.
