OMAHA, Neb.\u00a0 (uj.edu)–\u00a0<\/strong>The 25th-ranked University of Jamestown remained undefeated in 2018, winning its first two games in the GoSarpy.com Labor Classic, hosted by Bellevue (Neb.)<\/p>\n

#25 Jamestown 3, Montana State-Northern 0 (25-10, 25-10, 25-19)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Jimmies made it five sweeps in their first five matches, taking care of Montana State-Northern in three sets Friday morning.<\/p>\n

Tied 6-6 in the first set, UJ won 19 of the last 23 points to take a 1-0 lead. In the second set, MSU-N cut the deficit to 18-10, only to see Jamestown win seven straight points to close out the set and go up 2-0. MSU-N hung around in the third set, but the Jimmies were able to thwart a rally and take the match.<\/p>\n

“I thought we served well the first couple of sets, and that really put them on their heels,” said UJ head coach Jon Hegerle<\/a>. “We played a lot of players which was nice at this point of the season.”<\/p>\n

Jamestown finished with 10 service aces in 73 attempts, with Kori Buchanan<\/a> (SR\/Colfax, Wis.) and her jump serve accounting for five aces alone.<\/p>\n

“I feel like our team did really well,” Buchanan said. “When we struggled, we did a good job of staying positive and determined.”<\/p>\n

Isabel Wedell<\/a> (JR\/Ellendale, N.D.) and Kennedy Conzemius<\/a> (SR\/Breckenridge, Minn.) combined for 21 kills as the Jimmies improved to 5-0. Jamestown posted hitting percentages of .385 and .423 in the first two sets, then hit .400 in the final set.<\/p>\n

“We put pressure on them at all times, capitalizing on their errors and limiting ours,” said Conzemius. “It was a really good all-around team win.”<\/p>\n

Wedell hit a team-high .579 while Britta Knudson<\/a> (JR\/Bismarck, N.D.) hit .538 with seven kills. Conzemius was also at .500 for the match. Corina Ruud<\/a> (SO\/Breezy Point, Minn.) also added seven kills.<\/p>\n

Megan Gaffaney<\/a> (FR\/Jamestown, N.D.) (16 assists) and Jackie Meiklejohn<\/a> (FR\/Dickey, N.D.) (10) helped direct the Jimmie offense to a .402 hitting percentage.<\/p>\n

Defensively, Julina Niemeier<\/a> (SR\/Jamestown, N.D.) had 18 digs as UJ outdug MSU-N 42-24.<\/p>\n

#25 Jamestown 3, #23 Ottawa (Kan.) 2\u00a0(25-16, 27-29, 25-22, 19-25, 15-9)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Jimmies needed all five sets to secure a victory against their first Top 25 opponent this season, 23rd ranked Ottawa (Kan.)<\/p>\n

UJ and Ottawa traded the first four sets before Jamestown held on for a 15-9 fifth set win.<\/p>\n

Jordan Thomas<\/a> (JR\/Pingree, N.D.) led the Jimmie offense with 13 kills. Britta Knudson<\/a> and Corina Ruud<\/a> had nine apiece, and Kennedy Conzemius<\/a> finished with seven.<\/p>\n

Miranda Lowman<\/a> (JR\/Mandan, N.D.) passed out 25 assists and Jackie Meiklejohn<\/a> posted a double-double with 20 assists and 10 digs.<\/p>\n

Julina Niemeier<\/a> had a team-high 29 digs while Meghan Orr<\/a> (JR\/Ypsilanti, N.D.) was also in double figures with 15. Conzemius racked up a team-best five total blocks.<\/p>\n

Jamestown outhit the Braves .161-.126 and had a 9-3 advantage in service aces.<\/p>\n
