Reagan Cooper led the Fury with 22 kills to go along with 12 digs. Jenaisya Moore had 19 digs while Tori Stringer had 38 assists.
“We ourselves didn’t meet our expectations in terms of what we wanted to do on the court,” head coach Angel Perez said.
The loss marked the Fury’s fifth straight as Columbus ends its season with an 8-16 overall record, finishing fifth in the league, just outside the cutoff for the four-team playoffs.
“We’ll look back on it and it’s our fault. And it’s something that we can control,” Perez said. “We’re going to look back on it and see where we can get better for next season.”
