BUTTE, Mont. -- The Lewis-Clark State volleyball team saw its season come to an end with a 32-30, 30-32, 30-20, 30-26 loss to Carroll in the first round of the Frontier Conference tournament Friday.

The Warriors (8-19) had a chance to claim the first game when they led 26-20. But the Saints rallied to steal it. LCSC was the No. 6 seed in the conference tournament, while Carroll was the No. 3 seed.

And after L-C won the second set, Carroll controlled the last two.

"We were right in there, once again," L-C coach Erin Mellinger said. "We do have a young team. We competed with people all year, but haven't been able to finish."

The Warriors were paced by Dana Christiansen, who racked up 16 kills and four blocks. Lindsay Scott (14 kills, 18 digs), Lisa Davis (47 assists, 17 digs), Julie Nebeker (19 digs) and Mindy Meyer (14 digs) also contributed.

LCSC was without Brittney Kubik, who rolled her ankle.

Mellinger said she expects the Warriors to be better next season.

"We have a couple key slots to fill, but we're really pretty young," the second-year coach said. "... I do see us finishing higher in the conference next year."
