SPRING ARBOR, Mich. – Grace's volleyball team picked up a critical victory to wrap up the regular season on Saturday.

The Lady Lancers hit the road, taking down a hot Spring Arbor squad 3-1. The Cougars entered Saturday's contest by winning four of their past five, including a pair of upsets.

But the Cougars had no answer for the offense of the Lady Lancers (13-17, 6-12 Crossroads League) on Saturday. Grace pounded out 60 kills while holding the Cougars (14-17, 7-11 CL) to 47 kills.

Cassadi Colbert amassed a career-high 19 kills in the win, and Anna Frey had a big double-double with 15 kills, 19 digs and 3 block assists.
