In the championship match against Oakland City, the Red Lions
had a hard time getting any offense going. Freshman Emma
Donnelly recorded 25 digs, while Carson pounded out 13 kills. In
the end, the Oakland offense was too much to handle.
With only three regular-season games left on the schedule, the
No. 3 Red Lions (17-10) look to prepare for postseason play. LCU
will host Greenville College on Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the Laughlin
Center.
