Nov 12, 2005 | Volleyball
MANKATO, Minn. -- Sophomore middle blocker Carlie Christensen pounded a match-high 13 kills on .435 hitting, while adding three blocks to lead the 24th-ranked University of Nebraska at Omaha volleyball team to a 30-28, 30-27, 30-25 sweep over Minnesota State Saturday evening in the regular-season finale for both teams.
Two other Mavericks managed double-figure kill totals with senior rightside hitter Heather Hainline connecting for 11 kills and senior outside hitter Ashley Freeman collecting 10.
Defensively, senior libero Chelsea Miller registered 13 digs, and senior setter Christie Johnson added a match-high 36 assists. Miller also added two service aces as the Mavericks held an 8-2 advantage in that category.
The Mavericks (19-7, 10-2 NCC), who finished in second place in the NCC standings, will now await the NCAA II North Central Regional pairings to be announced on Sunday. Nebraska-Omaha was ranked second in the most recent Regional rankings released on Nov. 9.
