Volleyball sweeps North Dakota in Summit League opener, reigning 'double' champs commence title defense
Sep 26, 2024 | Volleyball
OMAHA, Neb. - In front of more than 1,200 fans, Omaha volleyball (3-9, 1-0 Summit League) commenced its Summit League regular season title defense Thursday as the Mavericks swept North Dakota (7-5, 0-1 Summit League), 25-20, 25-16, 29-27.
Omaha's offense was on fire in the opening game as the Mavericks hit at a .429 clip with just two attack errors. McKenna Ruch was a force to be reckoned with, posting four unassisted kills in the three-set thriller.
Ruch led the Mavericks with 14 kills in 20 total attacks to finish her night hitting .650.
In the third set, Omaha and North Dakota traded leads before the Mavericks pulled out the 29-27 clincher. With Shayla McCormick on the serve, a block by Erica Fava and Amanda Hardt sealed the deal for Omaha's first conference victory of the campaign.
Omaha returns to action on Saturday, Sept. 28 at 3 p.m. CT inside Baxter Arena to face St. Thomas. $8 tickets are available at OMavs.com/Tix or by visiting the Baxter Arena box office with promo code FLASH8. Saturday's match will air live on the Summit League Network.
