HOUGHTON - Lake Superior State set team season highs in kills, assists and digs to beat Michigan Tech in four sets during Saturday's Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference volleyball match.

Senior Brittany Newberry totaled a career-high 23 kills and added 26 digs to record a double double and lead the Lakers to a 25-27, 31-29, 25-14, 29-27 victory. Her kill total is the third-best by any GLIAC player in a four-set match this season.

Sophomores Emily Snyder and Chloe Balanda added 20 and 11 kills, respectively. Junior Marylou Drobish totaled 29 assists, and sophomore Katie Fitzpatrick had 26 digs. Balkwill also led the Lakers in blocks with four block assists.
