ROCHESTER, Minn. - The NIACC volleyball team won a pair of matches Saturday at the RCTC Yellowjacket Invitational.
NIACC topped host RCTC 3-0 (25-20, 25-23, 25-16) and Iowa Lakes 3-0 (25-13, 25-19, 25-17).
"There was a definite positive team chemistry feeling (Saturday)," said NIACC coach Chris Brandt, who collected her 200th career win on Friday night. "It was fun to watch them come together, talk the game of volleyball and make the simple things look effortless."
Sophomore Jaida Hansen led the Trojans with 23 kills, seven digs and six blocks. Addison Tabbert had 13 kills, 33 digs, three assists and two ace serves and Kit Byars had 12 kills and 10 blocks.
Also for the Trojans, Abbie Hyde had 28 digs and one ace serve, Kennedy Schwiesow had 44 digs, four assists and one ace serve, Alicia Machacek had nine kills and three blocks and Kelly Miller had 10 kills three digs and one block.
NIACC's Ellie Hanna had nine kills, three digs and two blocks, Emily Opstvedt had 18 assists, 12 digs and two ace serves and Iwalani Beltran had 31 assists, 13 digs, six ace serves and one kill.
"We will always have things to work on, specifically cleaning up some of our silly errors," Brandt said, "but as a team, they took a big step forward this weekend.
"Defensively, they were gritty and we are impressed with their efforts to stop the ball at the net or trust that the back row would be there to make that play."
NIACC (8-7 overall) returns to action Wednesday in an ICCAC match at Ellsworth in Iowa Falls. Match time is slated for 7 p.m.
