Imani Lee led the Lakers with eight kills apiece while
Neviah Johnson posted a team-high 19 digs. Lee also reached double figures in digs with 10.
After falling behind early in the opening set, Roosevelt closed to within 20-18 on a kill by Lee. Back-to-back points from Lake Superior State gave the LSSU enough of a cushion to hold on to win the first set. The Lakers were tied with LSSU at 21-21 in set two and rallied to trail by two, 24-22 in set three, but were unable to come all the way back in either stanza.
The setback on Saturday dropped Roosevelt to 5-12 on the season and 2-8 in GLIAC play. Lake Superior State, meanwhile, snapped its 10-match losing streak with the win. LSSU improved its record to 4-14, 1-9 in the GLIAC.
Roosevelt will be back in action next weekend as it competes in the two-day Midwest Crossover event in Hammond, Ind.
