Pioneers shut down Lake Forest to set up showdown of MWC unbeatens

GRINNELL, Iowa - Grinnell College continued its charge to a showdown of Midwest Conference unbeatens by sweeping Lake Forest College Saturday afternoon at Darby Gymnasium.

The sweep, Grinnell's fifth in MWC play, kept the Pioneers unbeaten in league play at 6-0 in anticipation of Wednesday's matchup with fellow unbeaten Cornell College. Grinnell improved to 19-8 overall, its fifth-highest victory total in program history.

Grinnell hit .330 Saturday while holding Lake Forest, 3-5 in the MWC and 4-20 overall, to a .086 efficiency. Millie Leonard '27 had 11 kills and hit .556, while Jenna Keller '25 added nine kills. Kylie Snell '26 added a .600 efficiency.

Emily Brewer '25 tallied 26 assists and served three aces. Leonard had a career-high two solo blocks and Sophie Weber '25 added 12 digs.

The first set was never in question as Grinnell shot out to a 5-1 lead and never looked back. The second set was a different story, with the teams tied 20-all before a 3-0 run sparked by two Hayley Taka '26 kills pushed Grinnell over the top.

In the third set, Grinnell trailed 3-2 before reeling off an 8-1 run to take command. Leonard had three kills during the spurt as the Pioneers cruised to victory.

Grinnell's match against Cornell will be in Mount Vernon, beginning at 7 p.m.
