WATERTOWN, NY. – The Lady Lakers fell on the road yesterday to Jefferson CC (conference member) – 12-25, 17-25, and 19-25. With the loss, Finger Lakes now sits at 3-7 on the season (2-1 conference record).

In what was a best-of-five series, the home team Jefferson (7-2) came away with the sweep in a rather dominating fashion. The match marked the second time both teams have met in 2012.

In Wednesday's conference defeat, Finger Lakes received valid efforts from a core group of players despite not coming out on top.

Sophomore's Jordan Smith (outside hitter) and Brittany Havens (middle hitter) each registered 6 kills apiece yesterday.

Freshmen Conley Gayton (setter), Courtney Bradish (outside hitter/setter), and Julianna Marcello (libero) each contributed in the match. Gayton recorded a team-high 20 assists while Bradish and Marcello chipped in with 17 and 15 digs respectively. Bradish's 17 digs stood as a team-high for the Lady Lakers.
