Box Score LEWISTON, Idaho – Sara Brunner and Jamie Elenbaas combined for 30 kills to help Rocky Mountain College sweep Westminster College in match two of the Holiday Inn Express Frontier Conference Volleyball Tournament on Friday afternoon at the Lewis-Clark State College Activity Center. The fourth-seeded Bears knocked off the fifth-seeded Griffins 25-19, 25-18, 25-21.

“I thought we hit pretty well,” said RMC coach Laurie Kelly. “Our outsides did a great job—they couldn't stop our outside hitters.”

Brunner, a 5-foot-9 sophomore, used a .389 hitting percentage to collect 16 kills, while Elenbaas, a 5-10 freshman, hit .314 and finished with 14 kills.

“Rocky Mountain is a great team and its outsides are very good,” Westminster coach Kim Norman said. “They just bust the ball at you.”

As a team the Bears hit .272, while the Griffins hit .155. Westminster ends its season with a record of 9-20.

With the win Rocky improves to 20-10 and advances to the semifinals where it will face top-seeded Great Falls which defeated Montana Western 3-0 earlier in the day. The RMC-UGF match will be at 11 a.m. on Saturday.

Rocky Mountian fell into a 7-1 hole in the first set, but was able to climb its way out with the help of Brunner who finished the set with seven kills and no attack errors. In the second set, Elenbaas carried the load with nine kills as the Bears jumped to leads of 9-4, 14-8, and 21-11.

Then in the third, Brunner and Elenbaas notched five and four kills, respectively, and had some help from Jessica Overstreet who had five kills in the set. Overstreet finished the match with eight kills.

Rocky setter Kristin Barott had a busy and productive day as she finished with 41 assists to go along with eight digs.

The Rocky Mountain's efforts on attack were matched by its efforts in the back row. Brunner led the team with 20 digs, but she was aided by 14 digs apiece from Elenbaas and Annie Krise, and 13 digs from Overstreet.

"I was a little disappointed with our blocking, but I was pleased with our digging,” said Kelly. “They were hitting cross court and missing our blockers, but we were digging them."

Westminster, which out-blocked RMC 8-3, was led by nine kills from Ericka Evans, 16 assists from Megan Evans, 15 digs by Tahnie Blymiller, and four block assists by Stephanie Jones.
