Young hornets are still learning to buzz

The women's volleyball team at LSC still has some learning to do.

Inexperience once again poisoned the Lyndon State women’s volleyball team.
On Saturday the Hornets flew out to a 2-0 game lead over the Thomas College Terriers. However the Terriers would prove to be too much for the Hornets in the end, staking out a comeback and winning the match 3 games to 2.
In the first game the young Hornets would prove to be overpowering against the Terriers, winning the game 25-20. The Hornets would also dominate the second game winning it 25-19. Then with the score tied in third match at 12 all, the Terriers would begin to turn the tables their way. The Terriers would win the match 25-21 and then take the fourth match 25-20. It came down to one final match and then to one final serve. With the score 14-13 the Hornets had the match in their grasp, however it was not meant to be.
The Terriers would turn it around and complete the comeback. They would win the game 16-14, and the match 3 games to 2, and send the young slumping Hornets to a 2-8 record.
Freshman Amanda Laramee and Junior Morgan Reilly led the Hornets with four assists each. Sophomore Ally Ciaramitaro, junior Michelle Petty, and freshman Kayla Probst led the team with 6 digs (the passing of a spiked ball) each. Petty also led the team with 7 kills/spikes and had a block. Probst also had 6 kills/spikes and led the team in blocks with 2.
