JAMESTOWN – University of Jamestown Women’s Volleyball Head Coach Jon Hegerle likes to make the point that in his entire excellent head coaching career, even with plenty of superb teams, he’s never had a team play a perfect match.
His Jimmies weren’t far from one Wednesday.

In set two, the Jimmies had 12 kills and the Blue Hawks hit five as Jamestown hit .214.
There was rare dominance in the third set, when Jamestown had a 15-3 kill advantage and hit an astounding .824.
Jamestown had a 42-13 kill advantage for the match and hit .387.
