JAMESTOWN, ND. (NewsDakota.com) – The #2 University of Jamestown women’s volleyball team picked up its 27th win of the year on Saturday afternoon with a straight-set win over Briar Cliff. Set scores were 25-22, 25-13, and 25-17.

Briar Cliff and Jamestown battled through the opening set with both teams hitting below .200. The Jimmies were able to pull away late and a Kalli Hegerle service ace capped off set one.

In the second set, Tenley Buddenhagen took UJ on a 7-0 run in the middle of set two in order to cruise to a 2-0 match lead. The Jimmies turned to seniors Kadyn Mehring and Anna Holen to cap off a sweep of the Cliff on a very special senior day.

Hegerle finished with a triple-double on senior day with 19 assists, 12 kills, and 11 digs. Holen had 15 digs and 13 kills and Mehring added in two kills. Averi Byer, the fourth senior, had seven digs for the Jimmies. Ellie Holen’s 19 digs paced UJ.
