Lady Bucs Extinguish Flames in Five

CLEVELAND, Tenn.-After taking the first two sets, the Christian Brothers University Lady Bucs trailed in the fifth set Tuesday night at Lee, but they rallied to win the fifth set and the match.

HOW IT HAPPENED:
• CBU (13-11, 8-6 GSC) survived a battle of runs in the opening set. A five-point burst gave the Lady Bucs a 12-6 lead, but Lee (10-12, 6-8) answered with five of their own to pull within 12-11. A 7-2 burst gave the CBU a 20-14 edge on an Erica Maurer (St. Louis, Mo./Ursuline Academy) kill, and the Lady Bucs went on to win 25-20.
• Back-to-back Alexa Henderson (Prairie du Sac, Wis./Sauk Prairie HS) aces keyed a seven-point CBU run that gave the Lady Bucs a commanding 18-8 edge in the second set, which they went on to win 25-19.
• In the third set, the Lady Flames took early leads of 5-1, 11-2 and 13-3, holding on to win 25-19 and extend the match.
• The fourth set saw seven ties early, the last at 13-13 before Lee took the lead for good with three straight points. The Lady Bucs came within two points as late as 20-18 before the Lady Flames scored five of the final eight points to win 25-21 and force a decisive fifth set.
• The Lady Bucs seemed to have the fifth set in hand as a 6-1 run left them with an 11-8 lead on a Jessica Reber (Byron, Ill./Byron HS) kill, but Lee scored the next four to take a 12-11 lead. After trading points, CBU scored the final three points on a service error, an Emma Lenoir (Chattanooga, Tenn./East Hamilton HS) ace and a Mary Kathryn Miller (Fulton, Ky./Fulton City HS) kill to clinch the victory.

KEY STATS:
• Lenoir led the way with 22 kills, hitting .186 to go with 17 digs, two assists and an ace.
• Miller hit .538 with 16 kills, seven blocks and three digs for 21 points.
• Reber racked up 46 assists with 14 digs, six kills, five blocks and two aces.
