CAMBRIDGE, MASS. - Lesley University improved to 7-11 on the season and 4-2 in NECC play with a 3-0 win over Becker College Friday night in New England Collegiate Conference women's volleyball play at the Nicholas Athletics Center. 

On her senior night, Kaitlyn Miller celebrated by leading all players with 12 kills, while Danielle Johnson followed with nine kills on 17 attempts for a match-best .412 hitting percentage. On the defensive side, Danielle McDonald scooped a match-high 25 digs as the Lynx won for a fifth time in seven matches.

Joanna Slomiak (Brockton, Mass.) led the Hawks with 15 digs, and Jacqueline Chila (Monroe, Conn.) posted a match-high three solo blocks.

Two Miller kills got the Lynx off to a 6-3 lead to start the night, and a pair of Miller aces put Lesley on top 10-5. A 7-0 Lynx run with McDonald at serve followed in putting Lesley up 17-6 as Lesley cruised to a 25-10 win.

Lesley carried its momentum over in Game 2, going ahead 10-3 on a Hawks ball handling error, but Becker battled back with a Slomiak ace to make it 17-12 and an Angela Jankowski (Webster, Mass.) ace to come within 22-16, but a Katrina Stroganoff kill caped Lesley's 25-19 victory.

Becker held its share of leads in a see-saw Game 3, going up 9-7 and then 12-10 thanks to a pair of Lynx attack errors. Lesley sophomore Rachel Frederickson then stepped to serve, tearing off four consecutive service aces to swing the Lynx back on top 15-12, and the home team never trailed again, winning 25-16.

For the second night in a row, the Lynx tied a season high with 20 service aces, with Fredrickson, Stroganoff and Alyson Finbow all serving four. 

Prior to the match, Lesley held its annual Senior Night festivities, honoring Megan Ortwein, a two-time All-NECC Honorable Mention selection, and Miller, also a two-time All-NECC Honorable Mention, as well as the program's all-time assists leader with 1,884.
