Box Score
LEWISTON, Idaho - Jenna Loheed tied a career-high with 14 kills as Lewis-Clark State completed a season sweep of The College of Idaho, grabbing a 25-14, 25-22, 13-25, 25-22 victory tonight in the LCSC Activity Center.
The Warriors (15-10) extended their win streak to four in a row in the series between Gem State rivals, while the Lady Yotes saw their six-match overall win streak snapped.
L-C dominated the opening set, getting a pair of service aces and three combo blocks as part of a 13-5 run that broke open a 10-7 score to take the early advantage. Set 2 saw the Yotes rally from a 15-10 deficit to square the score at 21-21 on a Kylee Nawahine kill, but kills from Loheed and Keisha Luebbert-Kennedy helped LCSC escape and take the two sets to none lead.
Liz Myers had a monster third set, smashing five kills, as C of I used an early 5-1 surge to take a lead they would never relinquish. Set 4 saw L-C score the first five points, only for the Lady Yotes to pull even at 12-12 after a Warrior hitting error and take a 21-20 lead after a Darby Santos ball handling error. However, kills from Luebbert-Kennedy and Loheed, along with two C of I attack errors gave the hosts the advantage to close out the match.
