MILWAUKEE, Wis. -- The Lawrence University volleyball team edged Marantha Baptist University 3-2 in a nonconference match at the Blue Angel Bash.
    The Vikings topped Maranatha 25-15, 25-21, 20-25, 26-28, 16-14 in the match at Mount Mary University.

    Lawrence led throughout the fifth set, and the Vikings were up 13-10 before a Maranatha kill and ace trimmed the lead to one. A Liebau kill pushed Lawrence's lead to 14-12, but the Sabercats scored the next two points to tie it at 14-14.
    A kill by Liebau and a Maranatha attack error gave the Vikings the set and the match.
