Lassen Closes Strong in Marin with Back-to-Back Sweeps

The Lassen College volleyball team capped off a dominant day on the road with a second straight sweep, defeating College of Marin in straight sets (25-18, 25-9, 25-12) Friday evening to improve to 9-10 on the season.

After sweeping Gavilan earlier in the day, the Cougars showed no signs of slowing down, hitting an efficient .250 as a team and overpowering the Mariners on both sides of the ball. Freshman Makala Crosno was nearly unstoppable at the net, slamming down 12 kills on an eye-popping .522 hitting percentage to lead the offense.

Mackenzee Sills continued her consistent season with 10 kills and 2 aces, while setter Lucy Platz directed traffic with 4 assists and added a team-high 7 service aces. Pacey Harris anchored the back row with a stellar 27 digs, frustrating Marin’s attempts to generate momentum.

Lassen also benefited from strong all-around efforts by Abby Robles (4 kills, .158), Vanessa Lott (6 kills, .250), and Meleny Medina, who added 6 assists and a service ace. The Cougars racked up 15 aces as a team and didn’t allow a single one, dominating the serve-and-pass game from start to finish.

Now riding a three-match win streak, the Cougars are building momentum as they climb back toward .500 and prepare for upcoming conference play.
