Lyon setter Emily Sprick and Middle Blocker Katarina Frickleton each posted career-highs with 49 assists and 21 kills, respectively in the match.

Although Lyon is even in regard to their wins and losses this season, they are coming into tonight's match with a lot of momentum as they have won eight of their last nine matches.

LAST TIME THEY MET
