ROMEOVILLE, Ill. – Lewis women's volleyball had 12 different Flyers record a kill in a 3-0 (25-17, 25-22, 25-19) sweep of Kentucky State on Tuesday (Oct. 21) evening at Neil Carey Arena in a non-conference match.

The Flyers out-hit the Thorobrettes .245 to .010. Freshman Aly Schneider (Granger, Ind./Penn) led Lewis with nine kills. She also added seven blocks (two solo). Junior Cassidy Parsons (Elkhart, Ind./Elkhart Memorial) recorded seven kills and five digs.

The Flyers notched a season-high 14 blocks. It was the most blocks in a match for Lewis since the Flyers had 19 against Southern Indiana on Nov. 9, 2012. That match went four sets. The last time Lewis had 14 or more blocks in a three-set match was Nov. 11, 2011 in the conference tournament against Drury when Lewis recorded 15.

Senior setter Leigh Barea (Battle Creek, Mich./Harper Creek) played only the first set, but recorded 14 assists. Sophomore setter Abby Biggs (Eureka, Mo./Eureka) recorded 21 assists in two sets of action.

Of the three sets, set two was the closest down the stretch. It was a 23-22 Lewis advantage when the Flyers used a Kentucky State service error and a kill by junior Lauren O'Brien (Verona, Wis./Verona Area) to put the set away. The Flyers won the third and final set by closing the frame on an 11-2 run.
 
Lewis improves to 17-4. Kentucky State falls to 19-3. The Flyers are back in action this weekend with a pair of matches in the Kansas City area. Lewis will try to avoid World Series fever as they play Rockhurst on Saturday and William Jewell on Sunday.
