The Embry-Riddle volleyball team had their backs to the wall Thursday night. After winning the first set 25-20, they dropped their next two sets to Arizona Christian 25-23 and 25-22. However, the Lady Eagles jumped out to a big lead in set four and held off a late charge by the Lady Firestorm for the 25-19 win.
It all came down to set five, where a late run by Riddle gave them the 15-9 win and the 3-2 match victory. Dalia Haase led the Lady Eagle attack with 15 kills, while Kelly Hansen tallied 14 kills. Katie “Rock N’” Rolle recorded 45 assists and 10 digs. Lily Figgins made 19 digs, and Alexis Creager posted 15 digs.
Embry-Riddle is 12-11 on the season. They host Ottawa tomorrow.
