CHADRON, Neb. – The 24^th ranked Regis University volleyball team (6-2, 6-1 RMAC) had their best showing of the season on Friday evening as they dismantled the Chadron State College Eagles (2-4, 1-3 RMAC) 25-14, 25-14 and 25-16 to earn their sixth-straight win.
 
How it Happened: Regis has been finding their groove in all aspects of the game recently, and tonight was no different. The offense was on fire for nearly the whole match with the defense showing out as well. The Rangers improved in each set, and it was a balanced team effort.
 
Set one was a good example of how the match would play out for the remaining two sets. RU dominated offensively with 14 of their 33 attacks reaching the ground for a point. The team only committed two errors and finished with a .364 hitting percentage in the opening frame.
 
In set two, Regis scored 16 of their 25 points on kills at the net, while also forcing eight attack errors from the Eagles. The only other point came by way of a service error from the home side. Unlike the first set, there were three lead changes and six ties scores in the second set.
 
The final set of the evening was the best of the bunch for the Rangers. They recorded 20 kills on only 31 attempts with three errors. This amounts to a .548 hitting percentage and was easily their most dominant offensive performance of the season.
 
Head coach, Joel List, on the win, "We showed up ready to play and it was nice to see an efficient effort from both our offense and defense. Strong play from our middles created opportunities for our pins, and Mara LeGrand did an excellent hob orchestrating the offense".
 
Game Notes: Sophomore Ayala Plummer and freshman Halle Theis were the team leaders with 11 kills apiece. Junior Rachel Siurek added double digit kills with 10 of her own as she and Theis both hit .421 on the evening. It was Plummer that really shined as she committed only one error in 16 attempts leading to a season-best .625 hitting percentage for the middle blocker. Theis and sophomore Londyn Johnson were the blocks leaders with two apiece and sophomore Haley Kennedy led all players with 14 digs this evening. Sophomore Mara LeGrand, the reigning RMAC Setter of the Week was spectacular with a 42 assist performance which is an average of 14 assists per set.
 
 
Up Next for the Rangers: The No. 24 ranked Regis University volleyball team will remain on the road next week when they travel to Gunnison, Colorado to compete in a three-team pod with both the Fort Lewis College Skyhawks and the Western Colorado University Mountaineers on Saturday, March 6.
