Hillsboro, Kan. - The Tabor College Volleyball Team continued its dominating play Tuesday night, as the Bluejays returned home, sweeping McPherson College in three games (25-17, 25-14 25-22) to remain on-top the KCAC standings heading into the final three weeks of conference.


The Bluejays got off to a fast start winning games one and two by a total of 19 points. The Bulldogs would scratch and claw to avoid the sweep in game three, but the Bluejays were just too much to handle as Tabor took game three by three to complete the sweep and earn their 11th conference win of the season.


"I was pleased at our level of play in games one and two," said Head Coach Amy Ratzlaff. "The team did a great job implementing some things defensively that we have been working on, as good defense allows for our offense to shine. Game three was not as sharp, but we were also working on some different things."


Sophomore Tina Frick (Durham, Kan.) and senior Ashley Cohlmia (Wichita, Kan.) led the Bluejays offensively as Frick racked-up a team high 14 kills, while Cohlmia added 10.


Tabor also got offensive contributions from sophomore Gina Hullet (Abilene, Kan.) who added eight kills while sophomore setter Mandi Phillips (Halstead, Kan.) dished out 37 assists.


Defensively seven Bluejays combined to tally 11 blocks up front, while Phillips and Cohlmia each had a team high nine digs apiece.


Tabor (11-1 KCAC, 14-7 Overall) will travel to Salina, Kan. Saturday Oct. 24, to compete in Kansas Wesleyan University triangular. The Bluejays will take on Kansas Wesleyan at 2 p.m. and Mid-America Nazarene University at 4 p.m.
