KUTZTOWN, PA - Cherry Li notched 22 kills and 16 digs in the PSAC Championship game to earn MVP honors as the Lock Haven defeated Edinboro in five games.

The Fighting Scots won game one, 30-28. But Lock Haven battled back to take the next two, 30-22 and 30-26. Edinboro then forced a game five, winning game four 30-18. The Lady Eagles jumped out to a quick 4-0 lead in the decisive fifth game and never looked back, winning 15-11.

Michele Deehan also turned in a strong performance for the Lady Eagles, recording 12 kills, 12 digs and four blocks. Allison Wade led Lock Haven with 19 digs, while Amanda Snyder picked up 14 and four blocks. Lillian Bortoto had ten kills and eight blocks. Allison Furry handed out 43 assists.

Edinboro's Ashley Walton led all players with 26 kills and nine blocks. Jen Shaw and Alicia Knouff each had 12 kills. Shaw's 17 digs led the Fighting Scots, as did her three aces, while Knouff also turned in four blocks. Melissa DeLibertado notched 16 digs. Renee Kam dolled out 55 asasists and had 14 digs.

The championship is Lock Haven's first since winning back-to-back crowns in 1999 and 2000 and fourth overall. That total ties them with East Stroudsburg for second in championships won, behind Edinboro's nine.
