MOORHEAD, Minn. – Junior Catherine Moore had a match-high 14 kills and hit .545 to lead the regionally-ranked St. Olaf College volleyball team to a 25-21, 25-13, 25-18 sweep of Concordia-Moorhead on Saturday afternoon at Memorial Auditorium.

After picking up a four-set victory at the College of Saint Benedict the night before, St. Olaf (13-11, 6-3 MIAC) cruised to its first Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) sweep of the season by hitting .254 as a team to pick up its fifth-straight win in the series with Concordia (7-15, 3-6 MIAC). Moore was in double figures in kills for the 13th time in the last 15 matches in the win.

In addition to Moore's 14-kill performance, sophomore Maycie Rogers was in double figures for the third time this season with 10 kills while hitting .320. First year Tatum Sims added seven kills and had three of St. Olaf's 14 aces. First year Paige Christophersen and junior Kylie Reardon each had four aces for the Oles.

Christophersen recorded 20 assists to go with the four aces, while fellow first year Taylin Gosch added 13 assists. First year Morgan Ryan followed up her career-high 25-dig performance on Friday night with a match-high 16 digs to go with six assists.

Rogers and Moore had four kills apiece in the opening set, which was the closest set of the match. St. Olaf was forced to use its first timeout after a 7-0 run gave Concordia an 11-8 lead and the Cobbers maintained the lead until late in the set. Trailing 18-17, the Oles won four-straight points, ending with back-to-back aces by Reardon, to take the lead back for good. Christophersen sealed the set with consecutive aces on the final two points.

St. Olaf raced out to 4-0 leads at the start of the second and third sets and never trailed or was tied in either set. Moore had five of her 14 kills in the second set, which the Oles blew open with a 6-0 run that resulted in a 20-9 lead, and had five more in the third to help St. Olaf close out the sweep.

With the win, the Oles are locked in a three-way tie for second in the MIAC standings along with Saint Ben's and Bethel. St. Olaf has two conference matches remaining but takes a break from conference play to travel to UW-River Falls for a 7 p.m. match on Wednesday, Oct. 26.
