Sophomore setter Dan French also had a nice game. He finished with 25 assists and a service ace.
Defensively, junior libero Dan Nelson led the team with nine digs. Cousin chipped in six.
The Cougars final record is 6-21 overall. They went 3-9 in conference, finishing fifth out of seven teams in the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference (CCAC).
