Colby Scores Six Straight to Sink Seward

The headlines and the lead to the story almost read differently. It was so close. The Seward volleyball team playing without setter Nacole Miller owned a 13-9 lead in the fifth set after Colby called timeout. But the Trojans scored the final six points to win the match 3-2 Wednesday night in the Green House. The Saints lost (25-23, 11-25, 11-25, 25-23, 13-15). Seward falls to 6-5 overall and 2-1 in the Jayhawk West. Morgan Riley had 11 kills in the loss and Annelise Sanchez added nine. Kristen Anderson had 27 assists and Carolina Gasparini and Kelci Bedingfield had 12 digs a piece.
