The 2025 season for the Greenville University volleyball team concluded on Thursday night with a 3-0 loss to Wisconsin-Oshkosh in the opening round of the NCAA Division III Tournament. The host Titans defeated the Panthers 25-23, 25-12, 25-18. 

Greenville sat even with the Titans on nine separate occasions in the opening set but were never able to grab the lead. A four point rally by the Titans finally put some room between the two teams, eventually opening up a 12-7 lead. Greenville fought their way back, drawing even at 20 after a kill by Elaina Evers. But a service error returned serve to the Titans who followed with an ace, closing the set out on a kill. 

After hitting a match-high .308 in the first set, Greenville hit just .070 and .019 in the next two sets, finishing the match hitting .119 as a team. Meanwhile the #3 ranked Titans hit .238 in the match including .333 in the second set. The Titans also recorded 8 blocks compared to Greenville's 3 and had the edge in aces 7-2 as well. 

Evers led Greenville with 10 kills while Emma Ratermann finished with 30 assists and Claudia Bonacorsi added 14 digs. Greenville finishes the season with a 24-11 overall record.
