Volleyball needed a win at Ohio and losses from Eastern Michigan and Buffalo Saturday to sneak into the Mid-American Conference Tournament as the eighth seed.
CMU was swept by Ohio 3-0, Eastern Michigan came from behind to beat Kent State 3-1, and Buffalo stunned Bowling Green in five sets.
Ohio had nothing to gain Saturday, since it had already clinched the top seed in the MAC tournament, but as head coach Erik Olson predicted, Ohio didn’t take it easy.
The Chippewas struggled to compete against the Bobcats in the first two sets, losing 25-15 and 25-14 after trailing the entirety of the first game and being behind the whole second set after being tied 2-2.
The third set was a different story, as CMU attempted to salvage the match and any postseason hopes.

Volleyball has one more shot to get into the Mid-American Conference Tournament if it can beat the MAC regular-season champion Ohio Saturday and get some help.
After losing Thursday to Eastern Michigan, the only way the Chippewas can make it in to the tournament is by winning Saturday night, having EMU lose Saturday to Kent State and Buffalo lose to Bowling Green.
“Whether we’re playing for first place or 12th place, I want to see the best effort out of our team,” said head coach Erik Olson.
EMU holds the tiebreaker, but an Ohio victory would swing the tiebreaker in favor of CMU as long as there isn’t a three-way tie between Kent State, EMU and CMU.
That would occur if Kent State loses to EMU Saturday and Buffalo loses to Bowling Green.

[wzslider autoplay="true" interval="5000" height="600" transition="'slide'" info="true" lightbox="true"]Between a 25-8 victory and a 25-19 victory in the first two sets Saturday, it looked like volleyball was going to cruise to victory against rival Western Michigan.
The Chippewas were two points from victory in the third set with the score tied at 23 after coming back from a six-point deficit, but that would be as close as they would get to victory, as they lost to the Broncos 3-2.
“Our team put forth a tremendous effort tonight and we were on fire in sets one and two,” said head coach Erik Olson.
