Box Score HENDERSON, Tenn. - It was a battle, but the Freed-Hardeman Lady Lion volleyball team extended one streak and broke another in a 3-1 win over Lyon (Ark.) College on Monday night.

The win broke a four-match losing streak for FHU and kept the home-court winning streak alive, now at 20 consecutive matches.

Lyon (7-11, 0-3) entered the night still looking for its first conference win, and the Scots showed early on that they were determined to get it. After FHU (4-4, 3-0) opened with a quick 8-3 edge, Lyon battled back to tie the match at 12-12. The Scots made another push later in the set, running off four straight points after going behind 24-20 before Freed-Hardeman took the final two points to win the first set 26-24.

In set two, it was the Scots who took an early lead and extended it to as many as five points (17-12). FHU pulled within one point on four occasions, the last at 23-22 until Lyon evened the match by taking the next two points.

The Scots again built a five-point lead in set three (12-7) before FHU took five straight points to even the set. From there it went back-and-forth with neither team holding more than a two-point lead until the Lady Lions finished by taking seven of the last nine point with a balanced attack from Sydney Rice, Fernanda Ferreira and Sandra Montoya.

It was FHU's turn to take a five-point lead in the fourth set as the Lady Lions jumped ahead 11-6 only to see Lyon battle back and take six consecutive points to go ahead 16-13. Freed-Hardeman finally retook the lead on the strength of four straight points that included a pair of Scot errors and did not trail again for the rest of the match and took the win on a Claire Pennington kill.

Ferreira led the attack with 14 kills. Montoya added nine and Rice contributed eight. Callie West paced the back row with eight digs.

The Lady Lions face a key match tomorrow as they travel to take on Bethel (Tenn.) University. FHU swept the Lady Wildcats earlier in the season.
