Artz Breaks Records, Lycoming Beats Wilkes            Senior Sets Career Marks in Kills and Blocks Solo

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa.—Volleyball star Lindsey Artz (Hegins, Pa.) rewrote the Lycoming College record book on Tuesday night, September 26 at Lamade Gymnasium. Artz broke Lycoming career records for kills and blocks solo as the Lady Warriors (10-4) defeated Wilkes University (3-13) in three straight games (30-22, 30-26, 30-15).

Head Coach Tim McMahon announced the achievements and awarded Artz an honorary game ball before a crowd that included her parents, several members of her family and many of her Beta Phi sorority sisters. Even her miniature dog was in attendance, held snugly by her parents.

The previous Lycoming career record holders were Tracey Hracho (1996-99) with 1,650 kills and Jill Sheeley (1995-98) with 337 blocks solo. With this year’s women’s volleyball season only half over, Artz should set the bar high for future Lady Warriors. Freshman Hannah Stump (Mechanicsburg, Pa.) has the potential to one day approach her teammate. Stump had a match-high 11 kills against Wilkes, while Artz recorded 9 kills and 1 block solo.

The women’s volleyball team suits up again on Saturday, September 30 at York College at 1:00p.m.
