The Lakers lost to Nute in three matches Friday night but not without a battle.
Each match featured point trading right until the end with scores of 25 to 21 in set one, 25 to 19 in set two, and 25 to 23 in a nail-biter third set.
An early season injury forced the Lakers to adjust to a new starting rotation, with sophomore Riley Parenteau stepping in as a setter in her first varsity game experience along with veteran Lyla Holobowicz who also set in the matches.
“The girls did an excellent job working together and communicating with each other. They played very well. We were two evenly matched teams which made for a great game.”
Highlights of the game include solid serving performances by Emma McNally and Parenteu and strong defensive play from Molly Reed and Kaitlyn Claus. Allison Tschudin dominated the net with several blocks.
