UJ – University of Jamestown women’s volleyball team wrapped up its regular-season road schedule with a four-set win over Dordt University Saturday afternoon. Set scores were 25-15, 25-16, 21-25, 25-11

HOW IT HAPPENED

UJ held a slim 15-13 lead in the first set, but rallied after a kill by Lexi Olson to take six of the next seven points to win the opener. Dordt ended the run to make it 21-15, and Logan Sherman responded with a kill that began a 4-0 run to finish off the Defenders.
Set two closed out with another multiple-point Jimmie run. With her team ahead 20-16, Olson took a Paige Oswald set and put the ball to the floor. That kill sparked five straight UJ points to make it a 2-0 match.
Dordt staged a substantial rally of its own in the third set while trying to avoid the sweep.
A service error gave the Jimmies a 10-8 lead, but the Defenders strung together seven straight and went in front by five.
