Saints finished 36-1 (18-0)

Southfield, Mich. – The No. 12 Aquinas women's volleyball team made program history tonight (Nov. 8), securing an undefeated conference season with a sweep over LTU. This marks the first time the Saints have achieved a perfect record in conference play! AQ now has a remarkable 36-1 (18-0) record. 

Jenna Lee set the tone in the first set with a service ace that sparked an early 3-1 lead for the Saints. Lawrence Tech quickly responded with a five-point streak to go up 6-4, but a kill by Mallory Keller and an attack error from the Blue Devils brought it back to 6-6. Keller kept the energy high with two more kills, followed by a kill from Lee to tie it again at 9-9. Audrey Gil came in strong with an ace, pushing AQ ahead 13-11. In a back-and-forth exchange, the Saints finally broke away with a five-point run to lead 19-16. Lauren Chioini and Lydia Harper then combined for a crucial block, and Bella Hommes added a service ace, extending the lead to 22-18. Finishing off with kills from Keller, Lee, and Harper, the Saints took the first set 25-18.

Harper opened the second set with a kill, giving the Saints an early 1-0 lead. A kill from Chioni and an ace from Keller quickly extended the lead to 6-2. The set remained tightly contested, with the teams knotted at 11-11 after another timely kill from Harper. Keller added another kill, and Hommes chipped in with an ace, giving AQ a 20-17 advantage. Harper then secured two service aces, and an LTU error sealed the second set for Aquinas at 25-18.

The final set began with a surge from the Saints, as a service ace and blocks by Harper and Samee Teachworth established a swift 3-0 lead. Keller's kill and an ace from Harper extended the lead to 6-4. Madison Lawson kept the momentum going with back-to-back aces, doubling the score at 14-7.
