(Lock Haven, Pa.) - The Lady Eagle volleyball team went 2-1 over the span of the second day of the LHU Classic, winning a close 3-0 (30-25, 30-20, 30-23) match versus Merrimack College and a hard-fought 3-2 (16-30, 30-21, 30-24, 20-30, 15-10) victory against the University of Puerto Rico-Rio Piedras . Lock Haven suffered its only loss of the day in a grueling five-game match (23-30, 31-29, 16-30, 30-13, 10-15) against NYIT, winning games two and four to force the deciding fifth game.
                Cherry Li (Shanghai, China) and Lillian Bortoto (Sao Paulo, Brazil/Campos Salles) paced the Lady Eagles at the net, Li recording 35 kills and Bortoto adding 36 kills over the three matches.  Li had a team high 18 kills along with 19 digs in the NYIT match and added another team-best of 16 successful attacks in the win over UPR-Rio Piedras.  Bortoto led LHU past Merrimack with 14 kills and tallied 11 kills in each of the remaining two contests.  Bortoto was the LHU leader with 11 blocks, while Li was almost equally as effective with 10 blocks.  Kristi Kauffman (York/Central York ) recorded a squad best 41 digs, posting 19 against UPR and 11 in the other two matches.  Allison Furry (Guys Mills/Maplewood) had 81 assists over the day-long span while Kelly Kostelich (Venetia/Peters Township) added 60 assists.
