BUTTE, Mont.–\u00a0(UJ<\/a>) The second ranked UJ volleyball team extended its winning streak to three matches Saturday, sweeping Bushnell (Ore.) and Carroll (Mont.) College.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Jimmies improve to 3-1 this season and will be in Great Falls, Mont., August 25-27 for the Electric City Invitational.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No. 2 UJ 3, Bushnell 0<\/strong>
Jamestown used a balanced offensive attack in downing Bushnell Saturday morning 25-15, 25-22, 25-21. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Six players had at least four kills, led by Kalli Hegerle<\/a> (SR\/West Fargo, N.D.)’s eight. Anna Holen<\/a> (SR\/LaMoure, N.D.), Lexi Olson<\/a> (SO\/Langdon, N.D.), and Aleah Zieske<\/a> (SO\/Spicer, Minn.) all had five kills, and Darienne Johnson<\/a> (JR\/Eastpointe, Mich.) and Logan Sherman<\/a> (JR\/Marshall, Minn.) finished with four. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Jimmies hit .209 in the match as Hegerle and Paige Oswald<\/a> (JR\/Frazee, Minn.) each passed out 12 assists. Anna Holen<\/a> and Ellie Holen<\/a> (JR\/LaMoure, N.D.) both had nine digs, while Zieske had two total blocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tied at 5-5 in the first set, UJ won seven of the next eight points to open up a 12-6 lead. Jamestown never let Bushnell get closer than five points and would build as much as an 11-point advantage at 23-12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final two sets were closer, as Bushnell trimmed a 22-18 Jimmie lead in the second to 22-21. Hegerle’s kill and a pair of Bushnell attack errors accounted for the last three set points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After leading 19-17 in the third, UJ saw Bushnell tie the set with two straight points. That was enough motivation for the Jimmies to reel off the next four points and end Bushnell’s momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No. 2 UJ 3, Carroll 0<\/strong>
Hegerle and Zieske were the main offensive threats in a 25-16, 25-18, 25-21 sweep of the Saints. Both players finished with 10 kills as the Jimmies had a total of 38 in the match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paige Oswald<\/a> had 17 assists and Hegerle ended with 10. On the defensive side, Ellie Holen<\/a> racked up 30 digs and Anna Holen<\/a> added 12. Darienne Johnson<\/a> led the way with five total blocks, including a pair of solo blocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Runs of 6-0 and 8-2 in the first helped the Jimmies to an opening set win. UJ outhit Carroll .243 to -.128, making only four errors on 37 attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zieske’s first kill of the second set put Jamestown ahead 7-1 early. Carroll took eight of the next 12 points to pull within two, but the Jimmies ended the threat with another 7-1 run. The lead would get as large as ten before a brief Saint rally made the score appear closer than it was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carroll led 6-3 in the third before UJ tied up the set at 8-8. Jamestown gradually built a five-point lead at 18-13, only to have the Saints draw level at 20-20. Two kills each by Logan Sherman<\/a> and Anna Holen<\/a> combined with a Carroll attack error accounted for the final five points and the match win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
