This submission is a portion of one of Lehr's first games on color commentary, with Mike Vallencourt as the play-by-play commentator. The game that was covered was an inner conference matchup between the University of Nebraska-Omaha and the University of South Dakota. Prior to this year, Lehr had very limited experience in sports commentary. Within just a month, Lehr was already commentating on Division l sports that were being put on the Summit League Broadcast Network. A nationally broadcasted sports network that includes sports like volleyball, soccer, and hockey. This game between UNO and South Dakota went to a total of four sets, with UNO getting the edge with a 3-1 win. This was also the first time Vaillancourt and Lehr commentated on a sports game of any kind together.

The annual giving event held live on MavRadio.FM and the UNO television studios.
