UNION, December 2, 2025 – The Union Adventist University women's basketball team suffered a tough loss at home this afternoon, falling to the Kansas Christian College Falcons, 64-56. Despite holding advantages in several key statistical categories, costly turnovers proved to be the difference-maker in the contest.
