LCU volleyball wins at tri-match

[September 17, 2013]  GARY, Ind. -- The Lincoln Christian University volleyball team traveled to Gary, Ind. on Saturday afternoon for a tri-match hosted by Indiana University-Northwest. It was a great day for LCU (10-2) as they ran away with the tri-match, beating Indiana University 3-0 and Mount Mary College 3-0.

In the match against IU-NW (1-17), LCU won the three sets with scores of 25-18, 25-16 and 25-11. Playing without all-American outside hitter Alicia Carson (Gobles, Mich./Bloomingdale High), LCU was able to plow ahead as other players stepped up in Carson's absence. Senior Emily Sheley (Lincoln/Lincoln Community High) led the team with eight kills, and junior libero Emma Donnelly (Clinton/Clinton High) led the team with 19 digs.

In the match against Mount Mary, LCU dominated even more, as they won their three sets with scores of 25-13, 25-10 and 25-5. Freshman Erin Taylor (Noble/West Richland High) led the way for LCU with eight kills. Senior setter Hannah Taylor (Mishawaka, Ind./Jimtown High) led the way in assists with 31 for the match.

LCU will return to action next weekend as they travel to Illinois Wesleyan University to participate in the Barker Classic.
