Volleyball thwarts Dallas Christian College

On Thursday evening, the University of Dallas volleyball team (20-9) knocked off Dallas Christian College in three sets: 25-4, 25-6, 25-6. 

Prior to the match, senior libero Kelli Fuentes (Rowlett, TX/Rowlett H.S.), UD's only senior, was warmly greeted by her parents and teammates, as it was "Senior Night" for UD volleyball. 

The team, noticeably energized by the pre-game ceremony, made quick work of Dallas Christian.

Other integral members for UD were freshman middle blocker Laura Yokell (Fort Worth, TX/Home School), who had six kills, three aces, two digs and two blocking assists; junior middle blocker Liz Baska (Tonganoxie, KS/Tonganoxie H.S.), who had six kills, one assist, four aces and one dig; while sophomore setter Amanda Kitten (Slaton, TX/Lubbock-Cooper), amassed 33 assists, three aces and three digs. 

Not to be outdone in this team effort were: sophomore outside hitter Emily Meyers (San Jaun Capistrano, CA/JSerra H.S.), who recorded three kills and two aces; junior rightside hitter Danielle Fuchs (St. Charles, MO/Duchesne H.S.), who had four kills, two assists, four digs and two blocking assists; junior Rachel MacGillivray (Phoenix, AZ/Veritas Prep), who notched six kills; sophomore defensive specialist Emily Glick (Dallas, TX/North Hills Prep), who had four kills, three aces and nine digs; and last, but not least, sophomore outside hitter Theresa Wohldmann (Florissant, MO/Nerinx Hall H.S.), with seven kills and three digs.
