ANNVILLE, Pa. – The Lebanon Valley College volleyball team split its final two matches at its own Dutchman Tournament on Saturday, defeating Ursinus College 3-1 (30-23, 30-20, 24-30, 30-11) before falling to 25th-ranked Eastern University 3-1 (30-27, 30-22, 16-30, 30-20) Saturday afternoon at the LVC Gymnasium.

Due to a lengthy power outage delay on Friday, several of Friday's matches were rescheduled for Saturday. Time restraints caused Saturday's championship round to be cancelled, thus a team champion was not crowned.

Junior Natalie Goodfellow was named to the all-tournament team for Lebanon Valley (10-2) after averaging 3.82 kills per game and serving up nine aces over three matches. Senior Lexi Horstman, who reached 1,000 career kills against Ursinus, also had an outstanding tournament, averaging an identical 3.82 kills per game while hitting an extraordinary .411.

Against Ursinus, Goodfellow led LVC with 14 kills and three aces. Horstman had 12 kills and just four errors on 23 attempts while joining Amanda Bahn '05 (1,292) and Natalile Baruka '97 (1,285) on LVC's 1,000-kill club. Freshman Margaret Prebula also hit double figures in kills with 11 to go with four blocks. Senior Katie Ferree scooped up 21 digs while freshman Erin Yost had 39 assists and 12 digs. Sophomore Jill Miller posted 10 digs.

Horstman was also outstanding against Eastern, pounding 17 kills while committing just one error on 39 attempts for a .410 hitting performance. Goodfellow added 12 kills while Ferree had 22 digs. Senior Cat Roth had 34 assists and 15 digs while Yost and freshman Brandi Roth had 15 and 10 digs, respectively.

Lebanon Valley returns to Commonwealth Conference action on Wednesday, when it visits Albright at 7 p.m.
