Rensselaer, Ind. – The Lewis University women's volleyball team earned their first win in Great Lakes Valley Conference play of 2012 with the 3-1 victory over Saint Joseph's on Friday (Sept. 14) at Scharf Fieldhouse. The Flyers improve to 4-5 on the season, while the Pumas fall to 3-7, 0-1 in GLVC.
 
“It wasn't the prettiest match for either team,” Lewis head women's volleyball coach Lorelee Smith said. “It came down to the last couple of points and who could handle the ball cleanly.”
 
Saint Joseph's was able to win the first set (23-25), but Lewis was able to regroup to battle back to take the next three sets (25-17, 27-25, 25-22).
 
“(Saint Joseph's) was a completely different team than we have seen from them,” Smith said. “They gave us some struggles and it was good to see the girls fight through it.”
