Volleyball Edged by LeTourneau

Volleyball fell to 6-6 overall after a four-set battle with Letourneau would lean towards the Yellow Jackets.

 

After a competitive opening set, LETU would get on the board first. Both the Celts and the Yellow Jackets would make runs in this set but LETU would score the last four of five points to edge St. Thomas.

 

The second set would mirror that of the first except this time the Celts would be climbing from behind from the start. However, they would knot things up at 18 and would even build their lead to as much as four late in the set. Unfortunately, the Yellow Jackets would construct a run and score six consecutive points to steal the set, 26-24.

 

With their backs against the wall St. Thomas would fight back and claim the third set, 25-19. The Celts would put together three different four-point runs to close the door on the Yellow Jackets.

 

St. Thomas would stay hot heading into the fourth set, jumping on the Yellow Jackets early. LETU wouldn't go away easily and would score six unanswered points to take the lead late in the set. The Celts would even the count yet again at 23 but back-to-back kills from LETU would give them the match.

 

Both Alyssa Ajlouny and Trinity Atkins would reach double digit kills with ten apiece. Ajlouny also flirted with a double-double, recording 9 digs.
