WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL

The Huntington University women’s volleyball team got back in the win column on Wednesday night in Platt arena with a three game sweep of the Goshen Maple Leafs (25-17, 25-19, 25-20).  
 
HU fell behind early in the opening set 7-6 before cruising to victory. Goshen fought hard in the second set to take a 14-12 lead before HU went on a 13-5 run to win the second. The third set saw HU jump out to a big 24-14 lead, but Goshen would score six straight points to make things interesting before eventually falling 25-20. The final set saw three coach’s challenges, each resulting in the call on the floor being overturned. 
 
Haley Kruse led the offensive attack for the Foresters with 10 kills. Leah Carter had nine kills and Trevyn Terry notched 7 kills, while assisting on 2 blocks. Lauryn Hardy was efficient off the bench with three kills on five attempts. Lauren Ross handed out 29 assists to seven different Forester attackers.   
 
Huntington will be back on the road for the next three matches. #21 Grace College will play host to HU on Saturday at 1:00pm. The matchup with Grace marks the fourth time in the last six matches that HU will be facing a ranked Crossroads league opponent.
