Box Score Denver, Colo.: The Rangers finished their
month-long home stand with a decisive 3-0 victory over Notre Dame
de Namur in NCAA Division II volleyball. The Rangers won by
scores of 25-16, 25-15 and 25-10 to improve to 10-6.
The Rangers' leads were never in jeopardy in any of the sets
with the Ranger defense limiting Notre Dame de Namur (3-7 overall)
of Belmont, Calif., to just a .061 attack percentage. Regis
connected on 44 kills led by freshman Christy
Henzgen's 15 kills, while the Argonauts had just 23 kills as a
team.
Tonight's .061 attack percentage by NDNU marked the sixth time
this season that the Rangers have limited their opponents to .105
hitting or lower. Last season the Rangers opponents did it
only six times.
The Rangers have not hurt themselves in the last two matches,
both wins, as they have combined to serve just three errors while
combining 10 service aces. Regis also passed well as they
didn't have a receive error all match.
The Rangers hit at a .269 attack percentage including a .419 in
the third set. The Rangers had a perfect 100 percent sideout
percentage, which means that after Notre Dame de Namur got a point,
the Rangers were able to get a sideout directly following that
point.
Seniors Erin Anderson and
Jessica
Howe had a great night hitting .467 and .412
respectively. Anderson connected on eight kills with just one
error in 15 attacks, while Howe had just two errors and nine kills
in 17 attempts.
Freshman Sage Martinson
led the defense with 14 digs, almost five per set, while sophomore
Jordan
Hughes collected nine. Senior Devin Eckhardt
had 35 assists, almost 12 per set, to go along with four kills,
seven digs and two blocks.
Regis will travel down I-25 to Colorado Springs to take on the
Mountain Lions of UC-Colorado Springs on Friday night at 7:00
p.m.
