FOND DU LAC, Wis. – The Lakeland University women's volleyball team played largely error-free and got back on track in conference with a three-set road sweep of Marian University Thursday night at Sadoff Gymnasium.

The Muskies topped the Sabres 25-20, 25-21, 25-18 in the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference match. Lakeland rebounded from a NACC loss last time out to defeat Marian for the ninth straight time, continuing a streak that dates back to 2017.

The Muskies (7-15 overall, 6-2 NACC) played from ahead almost the entire match, in part due to a .288 hitting percentage for the night. Lakeland finished with 39 kills and just nine errors in 104 attacks, well ahead of Marian's .067 mark that included 37 kills but also 29 hitting errors.

The Muskies trailed just once in the first set at 11-10 and trailed only briefly early in the second set before a 10-2 run netted an early 12-5 lead. The Sabres (8-14 overall, 2-6 NACC) also held a momentary lead early in the third set at 6-5 before Lakeland scored nine of the next 10 points to take control.

Susana Stevens (Sr.-Las Cruces, N.M.) finished with 11 kills without an error in 22 attacks and Rylee Esquibel (Fr.-Devine, Texas) and Caitlyn Pernsteiner (So.-Arpin, Wis.) added eight kills each. Persteiner also was part of six blocks and Isabella Westerholm (Sr.-Prior Lake, Minn.) added five block assists as the Muskies finished with eight blocks, tying a team season high.

Katelyn Kitsembel (Jr.-Lake Mills, Wis.) led Lakeland with 13 digs, Pernsteiner and Ryan Figi (So.-Hartland, Wis.) added eight digs each and Roseily Carrasquillo (Sr.-Yabucoa, Puerto Rico) chipped in seven digs plus 12 assists and three kills from the setter spot. Sydney Gay (Fr.-Rice Lake, Wis.) also finished with 16 assists.

Harley Bartels and Olivia Buol led Marian with 10 kills each. Kaylie Engebose added 29 assists plus four service aces.

The Muskies are on the road again Saturday when they travel to face NACC-leading Edgewood College at 2 p.m. in Madison.
