No. 4 Jimmies secure sweep of Mount Marty

The fourth-ranked University of Jamestown volleyball team showed no signs of fatigue after Wednesday's five-set win over Dakota Wesleyan (S.D.) University, defeating Mount Marty (S.D.) University Saturday afternoon at Harold Newman Arena.

The Jimmies took care of the Lancers 25-17, 25-16, and 25-13, raising their record to 14-1 overall and 4-0 in the GPAC.

Jamestown hit .464 as a team, making only four attack errors on 84 attempts. Five players hit .429 or better, with Darienne Johnson (JR/Eastpointe, Mich.) leading the way at .857 on six kills in seven attempts.

Kalli Hegerle (SR/West Fargo, N.D.) led the offense with 10 kills and added 23 assists. Lexi Olson (SO/Langdon, N.D.) added eight kills and recorded six total blocks on defense. Anna Holen (SR/LaMoure, N.D.) and Logan Sherman (JR/Marshall, Minn.) both had seven kills and a pair of block assists. Ellie Holen (JR/LaMoure, N.D.) racked up 12 digs, and five other players recorded at least five digs.

Mount Marty hit -.032 in the match, including -.200 in the final set. Two of UJ's four hitting errors came in each of the first and third sets.

Jamestown's next three matches are on the road, as the Jimmies play at Doane (Neb.) University on September 30 and have two matches on October 1 at Hastings (Neb.)--a conference match against the Broncos and a non-conference tilt against Ottawa (Kan.) University, also at Hastings.
