Lake Superior State competed against the Davenport Panthers at the University Student Center in Grand Rapids on Friday night. Third-year Mia Garcia led in digs for a second consecutive game but the Lakers fell in straight sets to the Panthers 25-20, 25-13, 25-21.

Garcia finished with 12 digs for the Lakers (5-20, 1-12 GLIAC) in the match against the Panthers (16-7, 8-5 GLIAC). She's now totaled double-digits in six separate contests this season and sits at 139 digs total, which is third on the team.

In the third set, the Lakers and Panthers fought back and forth. The set remained close throughout. With the Panthers ahead 15-13, a pair of attacking errors saw the Lakers tie the score for a final time before the Panthers pulled away. 

Offensively, the Lakers were led in attacking percentage by fifth-year OH Gia Waters, who hit .308 and tallied four kills on the evening. Third-year Setter Ava Tarsi led in assists, passing for nine in the match.
