HOOVER, Ala.  -- Barry University's volleyball team dropped its final match at the South Region Crossover Saturday, losing to North Alabama, 25-20, 25-14, 25-20, at the Finley Center.

The Buccaneers went 2-1 at the Gulf South Conference-Sunshine State Conference midseason challenge. But its three-match win streak came to an end to a hot team that had already beaten the No. 19-ranked team in the country a day earlier. Now the Bucs will resume SSC play next weekend in a pair of road matches.
