Lake’s Bekier sisters are leading their respective college volleyball teams to one national championship and the potential to another in the coming weeks.
Last year, Lake volleyball won its first league title since 1976, when the Flyers competed in the Northern Lakes League. The Flyers finished 20-3 overall and 12-1 in the Northern Buckeye Conference, sharing the title with Eastwood.

Four former Lake volleyball players were to play collegiately this year, but now only two will actually get on the court because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The other two, who were to play at Owens Community College, will see their college careers remain in limbo for now. After playing two years at Owens Community College and winning two consecutive NJCAA national championships, 5-foot-10 junior outside hitter Kayla Bekier will begin her junior season this spring playing for NCAA Division II Wheeling University in West Virginia. The Cardinals participate in the Mountain East Conference.
