GRAVETTE -- The Lady Lions were defeated by the Shiloh Christian Lady Saints in Springdale Thursday in three sets: 15-25, 14-25 and 15-25.

Amanda Pinter, junior middle hitter, led the Lady Lions with four kills and two blocks on Thursday.
The situation was different when Gravette faced Huntsville earlier in the week. The Lady Lions defeated Huntsville in a 4A Northwest Conference match, 3-1.
