The Greyhounds had lost their last three leagueopening matches before Saturday s win. The 2007 season was one of the best in recent history for Loyola, as the Greyhounds finished 22-2, 3-5 in the MAAC, and advanced to the MAAC Semifinals. Bullock Comes Up Big After earning All-Tournament honors for two consecutive weekends, Jac Bullock was outstanding again when the Greyhounds started MAAC action.

Bullock hit.5 (39-7-7) in the two matches and also chipped in with seven blocks and two aces.

Her previous 20 season-high was nine kills, a number she doubled against Siena. Bullock raised her hitting percentage by 62 points (from.236 to.298) this season, and her 37 kills represent more than a third of her 98 this year. Setting It Up Lauren Andersen posted a season-high 57 assists and guided the Greyhounds to a.256 team hitting percentage versus Siena, another season-high. Andersen spread out Loyola s offense rather evenly, as Jac Bullock, Faye Lukas and Tina Catanach had 8, 7 and 6 kills, respectively. Andersen followed that performance with a 6-assist, -dig, -ace match against Marist on Sunday. Again, she helped three Loyola hitters Bullock (2), Catanach (3) and Elena Frac () post double-digits in kills, as Loyola hit Dig Club Janet Pressler reached the 30-dig plateau for the first time in her career last weekend, recording an even 30 in the win over Siena. She then had 2 on Sunday against Marist. Pressler has now 0 or more digs in six of the Greyhounds seven matches since she became the starting libero (she missed four games at the Battle of Baltimore due to injury) on August 27 against Tennessee State. All-Around Elena Frac saw her playing time increase on Sunday against Marist after serving primarily as a back-row player. She finished the match against the Red Foxes with kills and digs. Her kills total was a season-high, and the double-double was the first of her collegiate career. Lawrence Takes The Helm Jake Lawrence was introduced as the Greyhounds head coach earlier this summer after spending the last three seasons at Georgetown University. Lawrence, a 2006 graduate of Xavier University, helped the Hoyas engineer one of the biggest turnarounds in program history in 2008 when they improved by nine games. Lawrence will be joined on the bench by Cynammon Burns, a former standout libero at American University, and Patrick Kerley, a fellow Xavier alumnus. 0+ Kills 20 Catanach Lukas Bullock Arnold Frac Sarby Kills 20 Catanach Bullock Lukas Assists 20 Andersen Digs 20 Pressler Catanach Loyola Miscellaneous Stats Frac Andersen Sarby Digs 20 Pressler Frac Catanach Total Blocks 20 Maloney Service Aces 20 Andersen Frac Lowry Lukas Pressler
