Junior middle hitter Alyson Ford and senior outside hitter Alex Dautremont also came up with seven kills each, with Ford adding a team-high seven blocks and Dautremont collecting 16 digs.

Senior setter Hayden Yoder handed out 35 assists to go with three kills, four digs and a block as Lone Tree moves its record to 4-4. The Lions are back in action tonight at home against Highland.
