NEWTON, Mass. - The Norwich volleyball team saw its season come to an end on Tuesday night as the Cadets fell to Lasell, 3-2, in a GNAC quarterfinal matchup. NU completes its second varsity season with a very respectable overall mark of 16-8.

Fifth-seeded Norwich won the first game of the match by the score of 30-27. Fourth-seeded Lasell took game two, 31-29, and the Lasers assumed control of the match with a 30-18 triumph in the pivotal third game. NU refused to go down quietly, rebounding to win game four, 28-30, setting up a winner-take-all fifth game. The Lasers were just a little too much for the Cadets in the decisive game, claiming a 15-8 verdict to secure the match.

Freshmen Alicia Chamness, Molly Rice and Lisset Magdaleno led Norwich statistically, as each player produced a double-double. Chamness, who has led the Cadets in kills all season long, smacked 17 in this contest. The Eugene, Ore., native added 16 digs as well. Rice, who emerged as Norwich's setter this year, recorded a team-best 31 assists to go along with 14 digs.
