The LCC volleyball team defeated Kellogg Community College at the Don Johnson Fieldhouse in Lansing on Tuesday, Oct. 18, winning in five games.

The Stars lost the first game 25-21, won the second game 25-18, lost the third game 25-15, then won the last two game, 25-16 and 15-4.

This win put the Stars’ overall record at 11-15, and at 6-3 in the MCCAA Western Conference.

“We were up and down through the night, but we were able to close out the match with Audrey Bunnell, (who had) an amazing 11-point serving streak,” LCC Head Coach Emily Quintero said.

Freshman Danika Fyan led the Stars with 13 kills. Sophomore Katelyn Whiteman delivered 53 assists for LCC. Freshman teammate Macey Beyerlein had 22 digs.

“In order for us to make it to states, we have to be top in the conference,” Quintero said. “We would need Lake Michigan to lose this week, but I do have a lot of certainty that we will be going to districts.”

The Stars are scheduled to play Ancilla College on Monday, Oct. 24 at home in the Don Johnson Fieldhouse in Lansing.

“Next week, we play three matches that will conclude our conference play,” Quintero said. “I’m hopeful our practices this week will prepare us for next week.”
