EASTON, Pa. – The Lafayette College volleyball fell in four sets to Loyola on Friday night in Kirby Sports Center, dropping to 2-8 in Patriot League action.

"We played hard, we stayed aggressive," head coach Ryan Adams said, "We just made more errors than they did."

Leading the way for the Leopards was freshman Ellie Carrera-Justiz with 15 kills and 41 total attacks and sophomores Grace Tulevech and Madi Wahrmund with eight kills apiece. Tulevech recorded 33 total attacks while Wahrmund totaled 14.

The first set saw Lafayette (13-13, 2-8 PL) earning the first point of the set off an attack error by Loyola (12-13, 5-6 PL) and from there the Leopards never lost the lead. After being tied 3-3, a kill by freshman Grace Steurer and a service ace by sophomore Kelly Austin would put the Leopards up 5-3. From there the Maroon and White would extend their lead to 19-13 before the Greyhounds would attempt a comeback, bringing the score to 24-19 but an attack error by the Leopards would give them the 25-21 victory.

The next three sets would see the opposite results.

Set two saw Lafayette jumping out to a quick 2-0 start before Loyola would take control of the set and grab the 5-3 lead. From there the two squads would see the lead change three times before the Greyhounds would take a 20-19 lead and would take the set 25-20.
