The Lake Forest College women's volleyball team prevailed 25-14, 25-23, 25-14 at Alverno College Tuesday night.
Margaret Almonte,
L'Rae White, and
Elise Kelley each served up three aces on the evening and White led the visitors with 13 digs. Alisa Barker pounded out a match-high 12 kills,
Lilly Robinson tallied 11 assists, and
Simisola Osinaike recorded four blocks for the visitors.
The Foresters won the first six points in the match and their opening set lead soon reached double figures at 18-18. The margin was 10 again before a kill by Robinson closed out the set.
Alverno led set two by as five points at 11-6 and again at 20-15 before Lake Forest rallied. A kill by White finished off a 6-1 run and tied the score at 21 but the home team won the next two points. The Foresters responded with four consecutive points to take a two-set lead.
Lake Forest began the third set with eight points in a row and, as it did in set one, the margin soon grew to 10. The Inferno got no closer than seven the rest of the way and a
Sadie Fry kill finished off the match.
The Foresters improved to 5-7 while Alverno fell to 2-13.
Lake Forest will be in action again on Thursday with a pair of matches at Aurora University, where it is scheduled to take on Rockford University at 5:00 p.m. and the host team at 7:00.
