UPLAND, Ind. (11-8-2011) - The Mount Vernon
Nazarene University women's volleyball team
put up a good fight against the top seed and
regular-season Mid-Central College
Conference champion Taylor (Ind.) University
on Tuesday, but in the end the NAIA No. 14
Lady Trojans prevailed on their home court
by the scores of 25-20, 25-13, 22-25, 25-21
in the first round of the MCC Tournament.
 Junior
middle hitter Gina Porto (left)
led the No. 8 seed Lady Cougars with 12
kills and four blocks, while freshman
right-side hitter Molly Gerber added nine
kills. Junior setter Lauren Percival handed
out 23 assists to go with a team-high 18
digs, and junior libero Kaylee Hewitt posted
15 digs. In the third set win over Taylor
(28-6), MVNU rallied from a 15-9 deficit to
score 12 straight points to take a 21-15
lead as they went on to win that set 25-22.
"We had one bad set tonight," said MVNU
coach Paul Swanson. "The other three were
all great sets. I am very pleased with the
effort and energy with which we played. We
battled them well and made them fight to win
the match in the fourth set."
The
Lady Cougars finish an injury-marred season
with a 13-23 mark as MVNU saw its string of
consecutive winning seasons come to an end
at 24. However, with no seniors on the
roster, the Lady Cougars will look to use
the experience they gained in 2011 to
benefit them when they take the court again
in 2012.
