Bennies Sweep Augsburg for Fifth Straight Win

Volleyball improves to 12-9 overall, 6-2 in MIAC play

ST. JOSEPH, Minn. - Continuing its win streak, the College of Saint Benedict volleyball team swept Augsburg University with set scores of 25-17, 25-21, 25-21 Saturday, Oct. 24, picking up its fifth consecutive victory. The win boosts the Bennies to 12-9 overall, 6-2 in Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference action, while Augsburg drops to 8-14 (3-5 MIAC).

Saint Benedict pulled out the statistical advantage in kills (36-33) while hitting .202 to AU's .089, aces (8-5), blocks (8-7), and assists (35-31), while the Auggies squeaked out the lead in digs, 48-45.

CSB's defense was led by four Bennies with five-or-more kills in the contest. Senior Kali Jones (Annandale, Minn./Annandale) led the team with 11 kills, followed by eight from senior Kate Stadum (Brainerd, Minn./Brainerd). First-year Karlie Wollum (Canby, Minn./Canby) chipped in six, while sophomore Sydney Elliott (Saint Paul, Minn./Cretin-Derham) added five as both hit north of .350 in the contest.

The masterminds behind the offense, junior Izzy Torve (Loretto, Minn./Orono) led the team with 20 assists and sophomore Ginny Schuler (Maple Grove, Minn./Maple Grove) totaled 10. The trio of Stadum, Torve and senior Ingrid Noha (Lino Lakes, Minn./Centennial) each finished with a pair of aces.

On the defensive end, Jones posted a match-high 16 digs. Stadium was second on the squad with 10, while sophomore Brooke Siegle (Norwood Young America, Minn./Waconia) tallied six. Sophomore Karley Dunham (Baxter, Minn./Brainerd) paced the Bennies with five blocks, followed by Elliott and Wollum with three rejections apiece.

All tied at five in the first set, the Bennies started a run thanks to a service error to break the stalemate. Following an attack error, CSB made it a three-point gap thanks to a Schuler ace that clipped the line. After an Augsburg sideout, Saint Ben's extended its lead thanks to a service error followed by a Stadum kill, as she smashed a shot off an Auggie for the kill to spark a timeout, 10-6.

Ahead by three halfway through the set, CSB used a 6-1 to take full control of the set. Torve connected with Stadum to start the run, followed by a big block from Dunham and Wollum. Wollum followed an Augsburg miscue with a kill, as she roped down a dish from Siegle to make it 18-11. The Auggies got a sideout on the following point, but back-to-back kills from Jones and Wollum polished off the run at 20-12. 

The Bennies used a 6-1 run to finalize the opener. Elliott and Wollum teamed up for a block to snag a much-needed sideout. After two straight attack errors, Augsburg burned its final timeout of the set. The visitors got a sideout but the Bennies pushed set point with an attack error. Senior Brooke Andries (Marshall, Minn./Marshall) locked in the opening set win with a kill to finalize the score at 25-17.

Trailing 20-18 in the second set, CSB rattled off five straight to swing momentum. Stadum tipped one over the block and in for the kill to ignite the stretch, and Torve dropped in an ace to put the home team in front, 21-20, as Augsburg called timeout. The Bennies stayed hot out of the break as Stadum and Dunham rejected an attack. Torve used the tape for an ace on the following point to make it 23-20. After Augsburg ended the run with a block, Torve fed Wollum and Jones for two straight kills to seal set two, 25-21.

A closely contested third set featured Augsburg leading near the end, 18-16. Jones found Stadum for an out-of-system kill to bring the Bennies within one, and an attack error leveled the score at 18. Wollum tipped one down for a kill to put the home team in front, forcing Augsburg to use a timeout, 19-18. The Bennies extended their lead to two thanks to an Auggie miscue, but a kill from the visitors kept them within reach. 

After trading points, Jones put Saint Ben's up a pair late with a kill to bring about Augsburg's second timeout. Staying in control after the stoppage of play, Torve fed Wollum for a kill, as she smashed her shot right on the line to make it 23-20. A Jones kill cued match point to follow, and the senior locked in the win as she punched one off the block for a kill, 25-11.

Saint Benedict hits the road for the next two matches, beginning with a bout at Concordia College Saturday, Oct. 31. First serve is slated for 5 p.m.
