It wasn’t that long ago Lanesboro volleyball struggled to win. Now, they are as formidable as any (save M-C) in the SEC. The black and orange burned thru a pair of league foes to start the season 3-0. Randolph fell 25-12, 25-11, 25-15. Seniors Haley Polin (11 kills, 3 aces), Lexi Melander (27 assists, 21-21 serving, 5 aces), and Cassidy Ruud (8 kills, 16 digs), junior Joelie Schreiber (6 kills, 3 aces) cued the charge. Lanesboro then took down one of the three SEC teams they lost to a season ago. The Burros trekked to Lyle and fought past the Athletics 27-25, 25-18, 18-25, and 28-26. Lanesboro trailed set four 24-22. Melander (24 assists, 13 digs), Ruud (7 kills, 19 digs), and Schreiber (7 kills, 3 aces) led the way. First year Coach Julie Schreiber is thus far undefeated (3-0).
