WORCESTER, Mass. - The Lafayette volleyball squad ended its 2009 campaign on a positive note, taking a 3-0 road decision from Holy Cross in the final match of the fall. Sophomore Alana Taylor had a solid all-around performance to help secure a winning record for the Leopards this season.

Lafayette (14-13, 5-9) took 25-21, 25-14 and 25-18 decisions from the Crusaders (5-24, 3-11). Taylor led all players with 14 kills and a season-high .722 attacking percentage. She also added seven blocks, three of which were solo efforts. Senior Ashton Rossi had a match-high 31 assists and classmate Kari Horn added 19 digs.

The first set was the only one in which Holy Cross topped the 20-point plateau but the Leopards scored the final three points of the set to clinch the win and go up 1-0.

Lafayette fell into an early 2-0 hole in the second set but went ahead 3-2 on a kill from Kayly Elmer and never looked back en route to the 11-point margin of victory.

The Leopards never fell behind the third and final set, clinching the match on a kill from Katrina Racibarskas, who finished the night with nine kills.

Lafayette has now recorded six straight seasons of double-digit wins under head coach Terri Dadio Campbell.
