This past weekend, Rhodes Women's Volleyball hosted the Rhodes Classic, involving the Westminster, Maryville, Illinois College, Piedmont, LaGrange, Hendrix, and Huntingdon teams.
Both Maryville College and Piedmont College finished the tournament undefeated, while Rhodes split their record, winning the first two games on Friday and losing the next two on Saturday.
The hosting Lynx jump-started the tournament with a victory against LaGrange. Allison Squires led the Lynx with 13 kills, three service aces and two blocks while Kayla McCrury added six service aces along with 27 digs in the game with the scores 25-12, 22-25, 25-14, 25-15. With continued success, the Lynx defeated Huntingdon College in three straight sets-25-22, 25-31, 25-22. Outside Hitter Katherine led the Lynx past the Hawks with 12 kills and 10 digs. Setter Laura Jensen dished out 33 assists on the match.
Unfortunately, Saturday's match-ups weren't as kind to the Lynx, where they fell to both Piedmont and Maryville. Both matches went into the fifth set, but the Lynx just weren't able to pull out the win in either case. Game scores were as follows: (Piedmont) 22-25, 26-28, 25-22, 25-20, 10-15; (Maryville) 18-25, 28-26, 27-25, 20-25, 10-15
Additionally, Senior Middle Blocker Ally Squires was honored before the start of the Maryville match. Squires ranks fifth in all time career games played at Rhodes, is seventh all time in career kills, and has already eclipsed her 1000th kill mark for the Lynx.
The Lynx will take on Sewanee in a conference game this Friday at 11:30 a.m. before heading into the SCAC Volleyball Championships being held here on campus on Saturday. Currently have an 8-7-0 conference record.
