Up two games to zero on
Saturday, the Lyon College Pipers were on the verge of
avenging an Oct. 3 loss to the Lambuth University Lady
Eagles.
But from that point, the
game unraveled for Lyon and Lambuth roared back to take
the next three sets to earn a 3-2 victory, and a
TranSouth season sweep of the Pipers at Becknell
Gymnasium.
Lyon flattened the Lady
Eagles in game one 30-19 and took game two 30-26, but
Lambuth earned 30-26, 30-25 wins in games three and
four, then closed out the match with a 15-13 triumph in
the final set.
Freshman Lauren
Castleberry of Bono paced the Pipers in kills with 16.
Castleberry’s teammate Daria Paunovic added 15 kills and
five aces. Ann Sullivan of Jonesboro led the team with
23 digs and Katie Beineke, also of Jonesboro, had four
solo blocks.
Lyon setters Julie Arnold
and Jessica Sylvester had 22 and 21 assists,
respectively.
The loss sends the Pipers
to 14-7 overall and 6-4 in the TranSouth. Lambuth
improves to 14-8 and 5-3.
