LEWISTON – The 2024 Hells Canyon Grand Invitational concluded on Friday with a tight five-set battle between former Frontier Conference rivals LC State and Carroll College (Mont.). In the first meeting between the two volleyball teams since 2019, the Fighting Saints of Carroll took the contest 3-2 (25-20, 26-28, 25-15, 20-25, 15-7). “I knew that having Carroll on our schedule meant that we would face a high volleyball IQ program,” Head Coach Katie Palmer said. “Coach Boyle does a great job preparing her team. We needed to learn their hitters faster and make adjustments defensively again. With that being said, Natany’s 33 digs were well-earned.
