COLUMBIA, Ky. – At the Biggers Sports Center, the Lindsey Wilson volleyball team tied a season-low with three attack errors en route to a dominating three-set decision over the University of Pikeville.

The Blue Raiders (8-9, 4-3 MSC) did not quite stack up to the 78 kills produced earlier in the week against the University of the Cumberlands, but a noteworthy 0.596 hitting percentage was more than enough to dismantle the Bears 25-8, 25-9 and 25-12.

Similar to the previous frame, the locals managed to balloon their lead up into double figures, and score the final seven points to take a commanding two sets to none lead in the match.

Despite allowing a match-high 12 points from the Bears in the final set, the Blue Raiders still…
