Alice Lloyd Volleyball Hosts Ohio Christian University

Pippa Passes, KY: On September 20th, the Alice Lloyd College Lady Eagles volleyball team hosted the Ohio Christian University Lady Trailblazers in the first River States Conference contest of the year. The visitors played well and took the match in 3 games.

In Game 1, the game was close early at 7-5, before OCU rolled off a 14-5 run to take a commanding lead. They would pull away for the 25-14 win.

In Game 2, the pattern would be nearly identical. This time, leading 7-5, the Ohio club would unleash an 18-6 blitz and take the game 25-11.

Fortunately, with their backs against the wall, the Pippa Passes ladies settled down in game 3, and played their best match. There were 12 ties in the evenly-played game, and the score read 22-22 late. Unfortunately, the Trailblazers would score the final 3 points, aided by two crucial kills, and take the match 25-22.
