Scots Downed by No. 3 Park University

The Lyon College volleyball team lost to No. 3 Park University this afternoon

PARKVILLE, Mo. – The Lyon College volleyball team battled one of the NAIA's best volleyball programs, No. 3 Park University, this afternoon. The Scots did not back down as they played aggressively and pushed the Pirates in each set. However, Park's Nada Meawad's 16 kills proved too much for Lyon as the Pirates prevailed in three sets (25-19, 25-15, 25-9).

Lyon drops to 10-7 on the season and 2-2 in the American Midwest Conference, while No. 3 Park University improves to 13-2 overall and 3-0 in conference play.   
 
GAME FLOW 
In front of their home crowd, the Pirates jumped out to an early 9-3 advantage in the first set. The Scots would fight back, cutting the lead to just four points, 10-6, after a Kendra Kelley kill. Lyon continued to battle Park throughout the set as they trimmed the Pirates' lead to three at 21-18. Park, though, would connect on four of the next five rallies to win the first set by a score of 25-19.

Park jetted out to another early advantage as they took a 12-3 lead midway through the second stanza. Lyon would respond as the Scots rattled off three consecutive points to make the score 12-6. The Pirates would quickly extend their advantage and finish off the second frame, 25-15.

The Scots trailed 10-6 in the third frame after a Maggee Hobson kill, assisted by Ellie Embry. Lyon would continue to test their opponent, but the Pirates were up to the challenge as the hosts won 15 of the next 18 points to complete the sweep and take the final set, 25-9.
