The LSE Hawks volleyball team accomplished two things over the weekend while competing in the LSE Volleyball Classic.
First, the Lady Hawks avenged an earlier loss in the week by beating Mexico in the opening round by the scores of 25-10, 25-20. Then, after gaining a split against Fulton in the third round 28-26, 11-25, LSE also wound up winning the championship with a record of 3-1.
Fulton finished second in the tournament of 2-2 while Mexico placed third at 1-3.
LSE coach Kristin Roberts said the girls played really well on Saturday morning. “We were glad to have to have the chance to play Mexico again after our loss to them on Tuesday,” Roberts said. “Luckily, we were able to earn the win this time. We then played Fulton for the first time this season for our second game of the tournament. After a split with Fulton, we ended up with a first-place win in the tournament. I have seen so much improvement over the last four weeks. We are really focusing on making the kill and it seems to be paying off for us.”
In the match against Mexico, Holly Brady had four aces, three kills and two digs for the Lady Hawks.
Kelsi Dillender finished the match with two kills, two assists and one ace, while Sydnee Poindexter added three aces and one dig, Emma Goff with two aces, one assist and one kill, Lindsey Harris with two digs and one ace, Sophie Taube and Keely Fenton each with two digs and Paige Peterson with two kills.

In the match against Marshall last Thursday, the LSE Hawks fell in two games by the scores of 25-17 and 25-19.
Roberts said the girls started out a little timid in their match against Marshall. “Being more comfortable on the court will come with time, though,” Roberts said. “We had some really great plays. We were able to make the kill several times.”

Sydnee Poindexter had eight digs, two kills and one ace while Keely Fenton added six digs, two kills, one assist and one ace, Holly Brady with six digs and two kills, Lindsey Harris with three aces, two digs, one assist and one kill, Emma Goff with four assists and two digs, Paige Peterson with three kills and three digs and Bryanna Nivert and Sophie Taube each with one dig.
