LLCC was led by Jassamayn Criss and Haley Maxwell with 10 kills each, but the Loggers couldn't dig themselves out of a deep hole after losing the first two games and twenty-one unforced errors in those games. Coach Dietz noted that "When we stopped making unforced errors, the last two games were exciting and could have gone either way. Unfortunately it is hard to dig out of an 0-2 hole, especially against a nationally ranked opponent."
LLCC entered the polls this week after beating D-1 ranked Lake Land this past weekend. All three LLCC losses this season have been to nationally ranked opponents (D-1 Indian Hills and Florida State-Jacksonville, and D-2 Parkland)
