Box Score<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n MITCHELL, S.D. (jimmiepride.com<\/a>) \u2014 <\/strong>The second-ranked University of Jamestown volleyball team won the GPAC regular season championship with a four-set win over No. 9 Dakota Wesleyan University Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jamestown finishes the conference schedule with a record of 15-1 and improves to 28-2 overall. UJ will be the top seed in the GPAC postseason tournament, taking on eighth-seeded Dordt (Iowa) University Saturday at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Trailing 23-21 in the first set, the Jimmies called their second timeout, and the break proved to be beneficial. Darienne Johnson<\/a> (JR\/Eastpointe, Mich.) and Lexi Olson<\/a> (SO\/Langdon, N.D.) recorded back-to-back kills to pull UJ even at 23-23, and the Tigers used their second timeout. Out of the timeout, DWU went ahead 24-23, but a set error and kills by Anna Holen<\/a> (SR\/LaMoure, N.D.) and Aleah Zieske<\/a> (SO\/Spicer, Minn.) gave Jamestown the 26-24 win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Tigers took control of set two, building a 19-9 lead. UJ scored the next eight points to pull within two, only to have DWU take the next three points. A 5-1 Jimmie run made it a one-point Tiger lead, but consecutive kills gave the set to the home side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jamestown led 13-12 in the third set and used a 4-0 run to build a five-point edge on the way to a 25-21 set win. After the Tigers got as close as 22-20, Logan Sherman<\/a> (JR\/Marshall, Minn.)\u2019s second kill of the set and two more from Holen sealed the deal for UJ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A 6-0 fourth-set run turned a four-point deficit into a two-point edge, and the Jimmies never looked back in clinching the match with a 25-19 win. Jamestown had 18 kills in the final set and outhit the Tigers .351 to .152.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Holen paced UJ\u2019s offense with 20 kills and added 12 digs on defense. Olson and Sherman finished with 10 kills each, while Johnson and Kalli Hegerle<\/a> (SR\/West Fargo, N.D.) both had nine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hegerle passed out 35 assists and Paige Oswald<\/a> (JR\/Frazee, Minn.) 19 in helping Jamestown hit .324 for the match. Defensively, Ellie Holen<\/a> (JR\/LaMoure, N.D.) recorded 28 digs and Johnson was credited with five block assists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jimmies Women Defeat Dakota Wesleyan 26-24,22-25,25-21,25-19 Box Score MITCHELL, S.D.
