2017 Oct 25

Senior setter Taylor Tiezzi (Meriden) became just the third Lasell women's volleyball player to reach the 1,000 digs, 2,000 assists combination in a five-set thriller Tuesday evening at the Tinsley Center. Tiezzi hit the 2,000 assists plateau during the first game of the season, played in San Juan, P.R., and added 14 digs this evening to reach the career milestone.

The Lasers came firing out of the gates in the non-league affair, earning 25-22 and 25-20 set victories in the opening frames. However, the home team staged a late-game comeback and took sets three and four, 25-14 and 25-20, before narrowly topping Lasell in the deciding set 15-11.

Lasell had strong defensive performances from all starters, led by Tiezzi and Cailtyn Garica (Moreno Valley, Calif.), who each had 14 on the night.

While Tiezzi dished out 49 assists, Katie Scheider (Covina, Calif.) stepped in and added 15 helpers in the effort.
