The University of Jamestown women’s volleyball team picked up its last regular season win of 2023 against Dakota Wesleyan University Tuesday night.

Jamestown would start on fire against the Tigers. It was 5-4 that the Jimmies were up, but then they started putting some pad on their lead. After kills from multiple jimmies, they would pull out ahead 12-7. From there they kept the gas on the rest of the way as they went up 22-12 before finishing the set 25-13. In the 2nd set, the Jimmies would still show some dominance but there was more pushback from Dakota Wesleyan. There was never a lead larger than 3 points until the Jimmies were ahead 19-16. They would pull out ahead 22-17 and then finish off the Tigers 25-18.

In the 3rd set, Dakota Wesleyan gave the Jimmies a hard run for their money. It was tied up at 17-17 before the Tigers started straddling up for an impressive defensive stand. They would go up 3 points 21-18, then 23-19, and then ending the set winning 25-21.

That 3rd set must have motivated the Jimmies because it was 8-7 the Jimmies were ahead, and they lit up the tigers going on a 5-0 run before the Jimmies would service error making the score 13-8. From there the Jimmies would keep that 5-point lead to 16-11. Jamestown would finish on a 9-2 run winning the set 25-13. Aleah Zieske would lead the team in kills with 24. Lexi Olson chipped in with 14 kills, while Darienne Johnson would get 12 kills. Paige Oswald would get 27 assists and Lily Bertsch would get 25 assists.

UJ would get the win 3-1 finishing their regular season 22-8 overall and 13-2 in conference play. The University of Jamestown will now await to see who they will play first in the GPAC tournament.
