Volleyball goes 2 for 3 at LAX Classic

Tulane volleyball suffered their first loss of the season in last Friday's LAX Classic opener against Loyola Marymount University, 3-1 (30-17, 29-31,30-21, 31-29).

Sophomore Ksenija Vlaskovic hit a season-high 18 kills, while juniors Sara Radosevic and Bridget Wells added 17 and 16 kills, respectively. Jenn Miller, sophomore liobero made a season-high 27 digs, and setter Rachel Lindelow gave a leading 28 assists.

Saturday's game versus the University of Wisconsin, #10, resulted in a 3-0 loss (30-27, 30-22,30-27). Though Wisconsin clearly had the advantage in height, Vlaskovic was still able to knock out 12 kills while Radosevic added eight kills and 11 digs. The six-foot-three Wells amassed four kills and three blocks.

The wave rolled out of Los Angelos on a high note after sweeping Columbia University 3-0 (30-13, 30-19, 30-11) that same day.

Wells, OH, hit 10 kills (.444), and Lindelow gave her second 30+ assist performance of the season.

"Bridget came out with an improved performance. With continued effort, she can sustain these types of performances throughout the season. That is what we have charged her with for this season," Head Coach Liz Kritza said.

This Wednesday Tulane heads to El Paso, Tx for the Conference USA Opener against University of Texas El Paso.

Not too shabby -- Wisc. and Loyola Marymount both have amazing programs.
