Match Summary

ELMHURST, Ill. — If Friday's season-opening performance at the Elmhurst Tournament was good for the Saint Mary's University volleyball team, then Saturday's encore showing was great.

The Cardinals, who opened the tournament with 3-0 wins over Illinois Wesleyan and UW-Oshkosh on Friday, completed their perfect tournament run with another pair of 3-0 wins, rolling past Otterbein and UW-Stevens Point.

Tracy Koertgen (Crystal Lake, Ill.) collected 15 kills and Ashley Dingels (Gibbon, Minn.) and Kirstan Rouzer (Comstock, Wis.) chipped in 14 and 11, respectively, en route to their 32-30, 30-12, 30-23 win over Otterbein. Koertgen boasted an impressive .444 attack percentage, while Melissa Cowan (Algonquin, Ill.) chipped in 40 assists and Erin Coleman (Austin, Minn.) finished with a team-leading 14 digs.

Against UW-Stevens Point, Dingels and Rouzer tallied 12 and 11 kills, respectively, while Rouzer also finished with 10 digs and Cowan dished out 35 assists.

The Cardinals (4-0 overall), return to action Wednesday, traveling to UW-La Crosse for a nonconference match.
