Team Profile: Lakeview (Cortland, OH)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Bulldogs were 19-4 overall in 2021 and have started this new season with a perfect 8-0 record, including a 6-0 mark in the Lakeview conference standings. Here are some of their key athletes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='169524' first='Tara' last='Lytle']</strong> - 2023<br>Lytle, a 6'0 senior middle, is playing some of the best volleyball of her career this early 2022 season. Averaging a career high 4.7 kills per set, she is also hitting at a career high .572 efficiency. With 838 total kills in her career she should have a shot in the coming weeks to surpass the 1,000 kills mark. Terminating 65% of her opportunities she is very difficult to slow down. The all-league performer also makes solid contributions on the defensive side at 2.1 blocks per match. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='523896' first='Reagan' last='Price']</strong> - 2025<br>Just a sophomore, Price has established herself as a critical part of the Bulldogs' effort this season. Increasing her impact from two kills per set in 2021 she complements Lytle well as the team's next offensive threat. At 5'10, Price is terminating 3.6 kills per set with great efficiency. Scoring on 60% of her attempts, she is currently hitting at a .555 efficiency. Her best output so far this season was 18 kills with a .533 efficiency in a big 3-1 over league rival Girard.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Maddie Bayus</strong> - 2023<br>Libero Bayus is a big factor in the Bulldogs' success and has been for a few seasons. Approaching 800 digs in her career, Bayus is averaging a career best 17.6 digs per match this season with a 14.6 average for her career over three seasons so far. The 5'4 senior has good vision, mobility, and platform work that has amounted to several matches at 20 or more digs including a career effort with 38 pick-ups in their big 3-1 over Girard a few weeks ago. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Maggie Pavlansky</strong> - 2023<br>Pavlansky, another key senior for the Bulldogs, brings veteran experience and contributes well in a variety of phases for Lakeview. The 5'9 captain and multi-sport athlete is a big part of their offensive success from the setting role as she shares this responsibility in their offense. She currently averages 5.3 assists per set and is fast approaching the 1,500 assists mark for her career. The Northeast 8 all-league honoree is a team leader defensively at 10.7 digs per match and is also solid at the service line as she has over 100 aces in her career. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
