The Lansing Girls volleyball team suffered back to back loses for the first time this season and now faces a tough climb to claim the divisional IAC section 4 title. On Wednesday, October 10th the Ladycats took on Class A STAC foe Ithaca in Ithaca and dropped a tough 5 set match. Despite the loss the Ladycats gained valuable experience going up against a larger school, one they had beaten in a tournament hosted by Dryden the Saturday prior.

Despite the setback Lansing took the court on Friday, October 12th, for its rematch with IAC rival Southern Cayuga in Lansing. Right from the start it would prove to be a long night for the Cats. Falling behind early in game one 8-1, Lansing got a serious setback to its team chemistry when one of their senior leaders Keara Lowenhar left the game with a sprained ankle. Despite the large deficit the Cats inched back on the play of their seniors.
