Box Score  / Northern Michigan Box Score

Aurora, Ill. - The Lewis University women's volleyball team came from two sets down to defeat Northern Michigan, 3-2, (19-25, 18-25, 25-18, 25-23, 15-12) on Saturday (Oct. 13) at the 2012 GLVC/GLIAC Crossover Tournament at the Great Lakes Center. 

The Flyers improve to 13-8 on the season while the Huskies fall to 13-9.

"This whole weekend we started off slow, it took until the match is on the line for them to play a little harder," Lewis head women's volleyball coach Lorelee Smith said. "They have it in them to win, what motivates them to go harder, I haven't quite figured that out."

Senior Jen Krumwiede (Elkhart, Ind./Elkhart Memorial) led the Flyers with 23 digs and 15 kills while fellow senior Colleen Mitros (Mokena, Ill./Providence Catholic) had 13 digs and 12 kills. 

Sophomore setter Leigh Barea (Battle Creek, Mich./Harper Creek) had 40 assists, six digs and one kill. 

"I told them that everthing they were doing, how hard they were going was working and that they couldn't lose sight of that," Smith said. 

Carly Perschnick (Dwight, Ill./Dwight Township) had 11 kills, as Amy Choi (Vernon Hills, Ill./Vernon Hills) and Mary Carroll (Naperville, Ill./Naperville Central) had 10 and 12 digs, respectively, rotating as defensive specialists and liberos for the Flyers.

Lewis is back in action on Monday (Oct. 15) when they host Michigan Tech at 4 PM and Indiana University Kokomo at 7:30 PM at Neil Carey Arena.
