NIPISSING 3, MOHAWK 1

NORTH BAY, Ont. - The Nipissing Lakers women's volleyball team improved to 6-1 as they squeaked by a gritty Mohawk Mountaineers (4-3) team 3-1 (25-19, 25-16, 23-25, 25-13) in their final home game of the first half.
 
"I thought we got outworked by Mohawk," said Nipissing head coach Marc LaRochelle. "We came out flat as a group and our communication was poor. All in all it was a rather disappointing effort at this time of the season."
 
Ottawa native Victoria Taylor was called upon in the second set and she made an immediate impact. "I thought Vic brought us some much needed energy and she swung really well for us today."
 
Taylor collected 12 points all of which came on kills and for her effort collected her second Boston Pizza Player of the game award in four nights.
 
Jacquie Dyball and Melissa White both added 11 points apiece and Brittany MacComish added eight to round out the offence.
 
The Lakers will close out the first half on the road with crucial matches against Conestoga and Fanshawe. Fanshawe is also 6-1 on the season with their only loss coming at the hands of Humber but first Lakers need to take care of the Condors on Saturday.
