"Union played how Union has played the entire season, with a lot of consistency," head volleyball coach Flavia Siqueira said. "We made a lot of unforced errors. The season ends with a loss but not on a negative note for AUM coaches and players. We accomplished great success and will continue to work on the development of this program. Our team is thankful for the support the AUM Athletic department gave us the entire season. Thank you to the administrators, coaches, athletes, and trainers!"
