EDINBORO, Pa. – The Lock Haven University volleyball team (21-3, 6-2 PSAC West) rebounded from a tentative start to down Edinboro University (11-18, 2-6 PSAC West), 3-1 tonight. Sophomore Li Yizhi (Shanghai, China) posted a double-double with 23 kills and 16 digs.

The Lady Eagles stumbled out of the gate, dropping the first set 28-30. LHU nearly fell in the second 30-28, with momentum carrying from there, 30-20 and 30-18.

Joining Li with double-digit kills was Lilian Bortoto (Sao Paulo, Brazil/Campos Salles) with 16 and Michelle Deehan (Upper Marlboro, Md./Gwynn Park) adding 13. Deehan also posted a double-double with her team-high 20 digs.

“In the first game, we were too tentative,” head coach Tom Justice said. “After a while, we started to figure things out and block well. That was key to our win.”

Junior Kelly Kostelich (Venetia, Pa./Peters Township) again captained the offense with 38 assists.

Li, Bortoto, Deehan, Justice, Kostelich and the rest of the Lady Eagles are back in action Tuesday, Nov. 2 at 7 p.m. at Indiana University (Pa.), in a battle of the top two teams in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) West Division.

Statistical leaders: Kills-Li (23), Assists-Kostelich (38), Digs-Deehan (20), Blocks-Bartoto (8), Service aces-Li (4).
