VALLEY CITY \u2013 The Valley City State volleyball team picked up a pair of 3-0 sweeps Saturday afternoon, defeating Montana State University-Northern and (RV) Dakota Wesleyan, to round out the VCSU Invite.

The Vikings defeated Northern in the first match of the day 25-22, 25-17 and 26-24.

VCSU later returned to Graichen Gym to defeat Dakota Wesleyan, 25-18, 25-20 and 25-19. The Tigers had been ranked No. 13 in the NAIA Preseason Coaches’ Poll but has dropped out of the Top 25 as they opened the season with a 10-6 record.

Junior setter Sadie Hansen<\/a><\/dfn> finished the day with 67 assists, 20 digs, five kills and two blocks for VCSU.

Head coach Michelle Meiklejohn<\/a><\/dfn> shared her thoughts on Hansen’s performance Saturday, “It is our setter who makes [our hitters] better and makes them look good and Sadie Hansen<\/a><\/dfn> does it all. She plays defense, puts up a really nice ball, she’s running all over the place.”

Hansen helped hitters Bailey Nelson<\/a><\/dfn> and Danielle Hagler<\/a><\/dfn> record 22 kills apiece Saturday, leading VCSU’s offense.

VSCU improves to 11-3 heading into the conference season. The Vikings will travel to Dickinson State for the NSAA opener on Wednesday, Sept. 13. First serve is slated for 7 p.m. CT.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
