Lakewood, N.J.- Georgian Court University's volleyball season came to an abrupt halt Saturday afternoon as the Lions dropped  a 3-1 decision at home to Post University in the 2018 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) semifinals, played in the GCU Wellness Center Arena.

The Eagles (22-10), serving as the top seed in North Division, move on to Sunday's championship game to face the tournament's top overall seed, Holy Family University (28-5), after the Tigers upended #2N Caldwell University, 3-0 (25-8, 25-12, 25-18) in Saturday's opening match.

Post attacked early by taking the first set from the Lions, 25-20, before GCU countered with a 26-24 thriller in set two. The Eagles created some momentum in the third frame with a 25-17 triumph before running away with a 25-20 final in the fourth, which included a late 8-0 run by the victors.

Led by Madison Hunziker's (Sr.-Sacramento, Calif.) 24 kills off 48 attempts (.458), the Eagles registered an overall hitting percentage of .264 (49 kills) in the win.
