"It was a good weekend down in Lake Forest. Both matches started slow, but we picked it up as the match continued. Freshman Ava Dettwiler hit .515 for the weekend with 18 kills and only one error! Liv Carel had 18 kills for the weekend as well. Tatum Kebisek and Devinn Bell did a nice job serving and running the offense. Katie Boston got her 200th block for her career. Kristina Manojlovic (22 kills)and Katie Rohe (15) passed well and contributed at the net. Jenna Damon had 28 digs on the weekend…19 against Benedictine. Cassidy Stahl did a great job in the back row and had strong service runs. Next up is Concordia (Wis.) at home on Wednesday night. We always appreciate the home crowd's support."
