SHIPPENSBURG, Pa.
The Lock Haven University volleyball team
(18-3, 3-2 PSAC West) swept the final day of the Pennsylvania State Athletic
Conference Crossover Tournament, besting Kutztown University (14-5, 3-1 PSAC
East) in four sets and host Shippensburg University (12-12, 3-2 PSAC East)
in three. The Lady Eagles finished 3-0 in the two-day tournament.
We were tested today,
with losing a set and going overtime on another, head coach Tom Justice
said. It has been good for us. These teams are fighting us hard, and it
helps us see how well we can respond.
Lock Haven bettered
Kutztown 30-23, 28-30, 30-20, 30-17. Sophomore Li Yizhi (Shanghai,
China) recorded a double-double with 21 kills and 15 digs. Add in two service
aces and five blocks and Li showed how versatile she can be.
Kelly Kostelich
(Venetia/Peters Township) and Allison Furry (Guys Mills/Maplewood)
split time running the offense, with Kostelich notching 36 assists and Furry
adding 24.
The Lady Eagles swept
Shippensburg 30-17, 30-26, 33-31. Pacing the team in kills were Li and
Inga Kurgonaite (Kaunas, Lithuania/Yuozas Urbsys) with 14 apiece.
Defense came up big once
again for LHU, as four players had more than 10 digs, led by Michelle
Deehan (Upper Marlboro, Md./Gwynn Park) who saved 16.
