Skyhawks volleyball concludes season in loss to #5 Roadrunners

DURANGO, Colo. – The Fort Lewis College volleyball team saw its season come to an end in a 3-0 home loss to No. 5 MSU Denver on Saturday afternoon.

The Skyhawks end the year with an overall record of 10-16 and a Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference record of 6-8. MSU Denver improved to 24-2, 14-0 RMAC.

The Roadrunners hit .537 for the match with just five attacking errors compared to a .045 efficiency and 24 errors for the Skyhawks. MSU Denver was a force at the net with 12 blocks and backed it up in the backcourt with 33 digs versus just 17 for Fort Lewis.

Fifth-year Lauren Shea led the team with 10 kills, followed by senior Alexis Hobie with seven. Sophomore Jordan DeJesus added six kills on the match. DeJesus led the way with two blocks and three players had three digs. Senior Natalia Lambos dished out 24 assists.

The match began with an eight-point scoring run for the Roadrunners before a kill from Shea got the Skyhawks on the board. Shea had the team's second point of the set, followed by another run by MSU Denver to make it 14-2. The teams traded points down the stretch before four-straight blocks by the Roadrunners ended the set in a 25-8 score.

The Skyhawks were more competitive in the beginning of the second set, staying within one point off a kill from junior Ella Butler to make it 5-4. MSU Denver persisted and slowly widened the gap, then scored on a 5-0 run for a 16-7 lead. DeJesus and Butler combined for kills to get Fort Lewis to double-figures, and the home team went on to earn a short scoring run for a 20-13 score. The Roadrunners reached set point which was fought off with back-to-back kills on the pin, but the visitors eventually closed it out thanks to a service error.

The third set saw a 6-4 MSU Denver lead following a pair of Fort Lewis points. Again, the Roadrunners used short runs to extend the lead. Shea got her team to 10 points as the score sat at 19-10. MSU Denver managed to close out the set on a 6-0 scoring run that featured a pair of aces to end things in a 25-11 final.

The season finale saw the end of the careers of Lauren Shea, JJ Curry, Natalia Lambos, and Alexis Hobie. Skyhawks Athletics would like to thank the four graduating seniors on their impactful careers in the blue and gold.
