"The third time is a charm,"
is a phrase that has been beaten
into the ground. The Lady
Lions volleyball team proved
that the third time definitely
was a charm.
Entering their third
tournament of the season, the
Lions traveled to Alfred
University to play in the Alfred
Tournament
Their first opponent was a
Nazareth College team that beat
the Lions twice in the Red

Dragon Classic in Cortland. A
different Lion team showed up.
They defeated Nazareth, (15-
0) and (15-1). Their next
opponent was the host team,
Alfred University. This was the
same team that defeated the
Ladies of Behrend in the Red
Dragon Classic earlier in the
year.
The Lions proved what
goes around, comes around as
they defeated Alfred (15-10) and
(16-14). They advanced to play
Russell Sage (Troy, New York)
in the semifinals.
The Lions continued to roar

as they won in straight games
(16-14) and (15-5). That set up
a final against an Alfred team
looking for revenge.
The team from Alfred was
well on its way to winning its
own tournament until they
stepped on the court against the
Lions. The Lions overran them
as they won in straight games
(15-13) and (15- 5) to capture
their first tournament
championship of the year.
Coach Wilson commented
on the tournament by saying,
"We had a lot of confidence and
we were more consistent than

She added, "We are starting
to play for each other and we are
coming together as a team."
Statistically, the team
played well as they registered 80
kills and 34 aces. They
completed the tournament
without losing a game.
Another positive note
coming out of the tournament
was that everybody on the roster
got to play.
Dodie Cornell and Maureen
Wojtowecz both got to play for
the first time this year and both
performed well. Cornell had
three kills and Wojtowecz added
several key serves when they
came into the game.

finally working together. It was
a fun weekend and it was an
overall team effort."
The Lions started their roll
in Wooster on the 22nd as they
played Wooster and Otterbcin.
The Lions showed a bit of what
was to come in the tournament
as they pounced on Wooster and
defeated them in three sets..
The Lions fell to Otterbein
in the next match, but moved
on to Alfred and prevailed.
The team has won five out
of their last six and are in good
overall health. They host their
first ever tournament, the Lion
Classic, on October 10.
If they play like they did at
Alfred, it will truly be a
"classic."
