WALNUT RIDGE, Ark. – The Lyon College
Pipers suffered a third straight defeat Thursday, this
one a 3-2 loss (30-21, 22-30, 32-34, 32-30 and 13-15) to
the Williams Baptist Lady Eagles in a road nonconference
match.
Lyon (3-2) got 20-plus kills from three
different sources. Sophomore middle blocker Katie
Beineke earned 23 kills, senior outside hitter Daria
Paunovic earned 22 and 20 more came from sophomore
Lauren Castleberry. All three numbers were season-highs
for the Piper trio, but even the high kill quotient
couldn't overcome a determined Williams Baptist (4-0)
squad on its home floor.
Junior libero Ann Sullivan notched a
season-high 42 digs for Lyon while setters Jessica
Sylvester and Julie Arnold had 35 and 32 assists,
respectively.
Lyon is in action again on Sept. 11 for
its home opener against Harding University.
