BETHLEHEM, Pa. — Lehigh volleyball heads back on the road on Tuesday evening to Loyola Maryland in Baltimore, as the Mountain Hawks look to right the ship after falling in four straight matches and 12 straight sets dating back to Sept. 28 at Bucknell. Lehigh will look for its 17th straight victory over Loyola dating back to Oct. 15, 2003 when it visits the Greyhounds.
Lehigh is still searching for that elusive set victory in a little under a month, but the offense continues to be led by junior outside hitter Sabrina Lancaster who leads the team with 231 kills, averaging 3.73 per set. Lauren Bright remains the team leader in hitting percentage at .367. She is currently tied for first in the Patriot League with Onuchi Ndee of American. Sarah Carman paces the team with 548 assists, while Allison Garrett continues to be the digs leader with 160, while Lancaster is second at 143. Lauren Bright (69) and Emily Poole (68) leads the team in total blocks with Poole leading the way with 14 solo blocks.
The Mountain Hawks are hitting .220 as a team this season with 860 kills and average 12.1 per set.
Loyola comes into the night winners of three of its last five matches, most recently falling to Navy in four sets on Friday night. Previously, the Greyhounds swept Lafayette in Baltimore last Saturday and beat Bucknell in five sets last Friday. Loyola is 10-9 overall with a Patriot League record of 3-2. Mackenzie Fedota leads the team with a .295 attack percentage, while Ann Ernst and Abby Hamilton each lead the way in kills with 273 and 272, respectively. Ernst has the slight advantage in kills/set with 3.74. Ashley Dwyer has 716 assist, averaging 9.68/set, while on the defensive side of the ball, Ernst and Molly Jarvis lead the team in blocks with 34 and 30, respectively.
Sophomore libero Katie Forsythe continues to dominate, with 425 digs this year, averaging 5.74 digs/set, while Ernst is second on the team with 231.
The Greyhounds are hitting .198 as a team with 13.5 kills/set, holding opponents to a mark of .194.
Lehigh leads the all-time series between the two teams, 18-3 with the Mountain Hawks taking both matchups last season in five sets. As stated before, it's been 17 years since Loyola last got a victory over Lehigh in volleyball action.
Tuesday's matchup will be streamed live on the Patriot League Network with coverage beginning at 7 p.m.
