Romeoville, Ill. – The Lewis University women's volleyball team earned a 3-1 victory over Rockhurst (25-22, 22-25, 25-17, 25-19) on Sunday (Oct. 21) at Neil Carey Arena. The Flyers extended their home win-streak to 10 matches this season while improving to 17-8 on the season and 9-2 against Great Lakes Valley Conference teams. The Hawks fall to 18-6, 7-4 in the GLVC.

"In the second set we made some sloppy mistakes," Lewis head women's volleyball coach Lorelee Smith said. "Dropping a game made them fix those mistakes."
 
Freshman Cassidy Parsons (Elkhart, Ind./Elkhart Memorial) and redshirt sophomore Kim Vertin (Joliet, Ill./Joliet Central) led the Flyers with 17 kills each in the four set victory. Vertin also had seven digs and three blocks.

"The combination of Kim across the front row and Katie playing her back row rotations, we were able to clean up the earlier mistakes," Smith said. 
 
Outside hitter Colleen Mitros (Mokena, Ill./Providence Catholic) added 18 digs, 10 kills, two assists and one block while middle hitter Carly Perschnick (Dwight, Ill./Dwight Township) had 10 kills and three blocks against the Hawks.
 
Sophomore setter Leigh Barea (Battle Creek, Mich./Harper Creek) had 51 assists, just two assists shy of matching her season-high set against Ferris State on Oct. 12. Barea also had 10 digs, five kills and three blocks.
 
Libero Amy Choi Vernon Hills, Ill./Vernon Hills) had season-high 31 digs for Lewis' defense. Katie Fuerst (St. Charles, Ill.,/St. Charles North) had four digs and one assist as well. 
 
Lewis heads on the road to Louisville, Ky., for their next match, when they play at Bellarmine on Friday (Oct. 26). First serve is set for 7 PM.
