Women's Volleyball Clips Edgewood In Five-Set Thriller

MILWAUKEE (WLCSports.com) – Junior Jenna Charron (Appleton, Wis.) recorded a career-high 18 kills to lead three players in double-digit kills and the Wisconsin Lutheran College women's volleyball team came back from a 2-0 deficit to knock off Edgewood on Saturday afternoon inside the Recreation Complex. 

• Final Score: Wisconsin Lutheran 3, Edgewood 2 (17-25, 20-25, 26-24, 28-26, 15-11)
• Records: Wisconsin Lutheran (6-10, 4-2 NACC), Edgewood (13-7, 4-3 NACC)
• Location: Recreation Complex, Milwaukee, Wis.

• The Warriors held a 12-9 lead in the first set, only to see the Eagles rattle off an 8-1 scoring run and take control for a 25-17 win. Edgewood hit a match-high .289 in the opening set.
• The second set saw the lead change hands a match-high six times. WLC held the lead at 16-15, but a 6-1 scoring run from EC helped the visitors close out set two by a score of 25-20. 
• Wisconsin Lutheran fell behind 5-1 in the third set, but battled back to tie the set for the first time at 16-16. Trailing 23-21, the Warriors rallied for five of the final six points of the set for a 26-24 win.
• The fourth set was back and forth from the start as there were 14 ties and five lead changes. Neither team held more than a two-point lead since the score stood 6-4 in favor of WLC. Wisconsin Lutheran broke a 26-26 tie by scoring the final two points of the set on a kill from senior Carly Heuer (Germantown, Wis.) and an Eagles attack error.
• The Warriors jumped out to an 11-4 lead in the fifth set and never trailed. EC closed to within 13-11, but kills from Heuer and Charron closed out the match with a 15-11 win.
• Charron led all players with 18 kills, while junior Rebecca Chavez (Chicago, Ill.) had a career-high 15 kills and Heuer chipped in with a season-high 13 kills.

• Junior Ally Goba (Mukwonago, Wis.) led all players with a match-high 24 digs. Freshman Kylee Gnabasik (Jefferson, Wis.) joined Goba in double-digit digs with 13.

• "I loved the team's response after a disappointing outcome Friday and being down two sets to none to fight our way back for the reverse sweep. I was proud of their grit and poise under pressure. And it was great to see so many contribute - with three in double-digit kills! A great victory, especially for parent's day and midway through conference play." - Head Coach Jenilee Voss

• The Warriors are off until next Friday, October 15 when they travel to Rockford (2-17, 0-7 NACC) for a 7 p.m. NACC match. It's the first of three weekend road contests for WLC. Live coverage links will be available for the match at WLCSports.com.
