PORTLAND, Oregon – Rita Dexter tallied a career-high 14 kills as the Puget Sound volleyball team rolled past Lewis & Clark, 3-1 (25-22, 21-25, 25-23, 25-20), on the road Friday night.

Although the Loggers (12-5, 7-2 NWC) finished with a .092 hitting percentage, Dexter carried the attack with a .385 mark against the Pioneers (4-12, 3-6 NWC).

Five Loggers finished with at least 10 digs, led by Rachael Garrison's 17. Kristen Lane added 15 digs, and Shari-Lynn Hayashi finished with 14. Kayla Thaller and Moira McVicar totaled 10 digs apiece.

Thaller led the Loggers with 19 assists, and McVicar added 18.

The Loggers and Pioneers were knotted at 20-20 in the first set, but an ace by Thaller sparked a 5-2 run for Puget Sound to win the set.

After dropping the second set, Puget Sound trailed late in the third set. Down 17-16, a kill by Dexter evened the score. Hannah Stinson followed with a kill of her own, and a Lewis & Clark error gave the Loggers a 19-17 edge. They held for a 25-23 win.

In the fourth and final set, the Loggers trailed, 16-15, before going on a 3-0 run that gave Puget Sound the lead for good. Consecutive errors by the Pioneers and a kill by Renee Kenneally gave the Loggers an 18-16 edge, and they never looked back.

The Loggers remain on the road to play Linfield on Saturday, Oct. 15, at 5 p.m.
