Unity suffers heartbreaking loss at home to visiting Central Maroons

McKayla Schendel and Lauren Shaw try to make a defensive play during Unity's home volleyball match against Champaign Central. The Rockets won the first set 25-19 and then dropped the next two, 25-14, 25-19, to the Maroons Tuesday evening at the Rocket Center. All four matches the Unity program has played this season were settled with a third set. UHS hopes to pick up their second win this season in an abbreviated match this Thursday at Tuscola.
