FORT WAYNE, Ind. — Haylee Pennington paced the Goshen College women's volleyball team with 23 kills in a pair of matches Friday as the Maple Leafs topped Concordia University Ann Arbor and lost to Indiana Tech at the latter school's Liz Lykowski Memorial Tournament.

Pennington led all players with 14 winners in Goshen's opening match, a 25-16, 21-25, 26-24, 25-23 win over Concordia.

Jennifer Ritchie added 13 kills in the opener while Elizabeth Breckbill picked up 10 for GC, which was helped by Ally Roehr's 42 assists. Ritchie led all players with 39 service receptions and was one of a quintet of Maple Leafs to reach double figures in digs, where libero Tessa Clark tied a match high with 23.

Madison Coles led the team with 5 of the 9 blocks while Breckbill had the only solo stuff.

Concordia (4-13) got 14 kills from Lena Thompson, 41 assists and 20 digs out of Kaitlin Veihl, and a pair of aces from Gabrielle den Boer.

In that set, the score was tied nine times and the lead changed hands on three occasions: Goshen never trailed in the final stanza.

Breckbill contributed 8 kills and Ritchie 6 in the nightcap, a three-setter that saw the Warriors (16-6) hit .300 as a team. Nine players recorded kills for the home side, led by Jordan Aylward with 9 and Allison Cole with 8.
