Rolla, Mo. - The Lewis University women's volleyball team's seven-match winning streak was snapped on Sunday (Oct. 7) when the squad fell 3-0 (25-20, 25-18, 25-14) to Missouri S&T.

The Flyers fall to 11-7 on the season and 7-2 in Great Lakes Valley Conference play. The Miners improve to 13-5 on the season, 9-0 in GLVC play. 

"I have to give some credit to S&T for being well prepared to face us," Lewis head women's volleyball coach Lorelee Smith said. "They were the first team to exploit our weaknesses that we have had this year due to illnesses and injuries."

The Flyers were led by Jen Krumwiede (Elkhart, Ind./Elkhart Memorial) and Carly Perschnick (Dwight, Ill./Dwight Township) who each had nine kills against the Miners. Krumwiede also tallied 12 digs and three blocks as Perschnick had three digs and three blocks. 

"Both Jen and Carly went hard and were aggressive today," Smith said. "They refused to go away easy."

Redshirt senior Colleen Mitros (Mokena, Ill./Providence Catholic) had 10 digs, four kills and two blocks, while sophomore setter Leigh Barea (Battle Creek, Mich./Harper Creek)had 23 assists, five digs, a kill and a block in the three set match-up. Senior Mary Carroll (Naperville, Ill./Naperville Central) had 16 digs and one assist as the Flyer's libero. 

Lewis is back in action when the team heads to Aurora, Ill. for the GLVC/GLIAC Crossover on Friday and Saturday, October 12th and 13th. The Flyers' next home matches at Neil Carey Arena is on Monday (Oct. 15) when they host Michigan Tech at 4 PM and IU Kokomo at 7:30 PM.
