Jennies cage Lions in MIAA action
Caitlin Pankratz led the Jennies to the sweep
The No. 11 UCM Jennies volleyball team sent the Missouri Southern Lions home disappointed with a, 3-0 (25-23, 25-13, 25-14), win Friday night at the Multipurpose Building.
In the first game the Lions led by three, 10-7, before UCM (12-3, 2-1 MIAA) rallied to make it 11-10 during Kelsey Ortwerth’s serve. From there the Jens remained ahead on the scoreboard.
UCM put together a five point run to start the second game. Quickly the score ballooned out of reach for the Lions when a six point rally made it 12-5. Many MSSU (5-6, 0-2 MIAA) attacks were met with blocks from the Jennies who had 16 block assists in the match (eight total). Caitlin Pankratz led the way with six block assists in the match.
With the score 10-9 Jens in the third match, Piontek’s squad circled the wagons and went in for the kill. Despite a pair of MSSU timeouts the Jennies kept scoring. The Lions only had sideouts three times during a 15-6 run for the home team.
“I would attribute our success in the third game to our serving,” said Assistant Coach Chrissy Elder.
Paula Harris and Allie Huffman led the team in kills with 10 apiece. Rachel Fister had 16 digs and a service ace. Ortwerth tallied three service aces. Pankratz also contributed 30 assists and six kills, hitting .429. As a team, UCM had seven service aces and hit .254.
