No. 1 Knights hand Grace first loss of season

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Grace’s volleyball team tasted its first defeat of the year at the hands of No. 1 Marian on Wednesday.

The Knights’ offense was hard to stop on Wednesday night, producing 52 kills on a .342 percentage during a 3-0 sweep.

The Lady Lancers (5-1, 5-1 Crossroads League), on the other hand, had 30 kills on a .124 percentage.

Anna Frey tallied nine kills and six digs, and Katie Swanson tallied five kills. But no other player for Grace topped three kills.

Grace and Marian battled to a close score in the opening set. Marian held a slight 19-18 edge in the final stages, but Grace committed three errors in quick succession. Late kills from Frey and Jenna Mueller were not enough as Marian won 25-20.

The momentum for the Knights (4-0, 4-0 CL) carried into the second set. Marian scored the first three points and coasted to a 13-point win.

The Knights secured the sweep 25-17 in the third set.

Julia Nagy led all players with 20 digs, and Gina Novotny added five digs and an ace.
