Congratulations to the CSM Volleyball Team!
For the third consecutive year and the seventh time in the last eight years, the Flames are headed to the 2005 NAIA National Tournament. The Flames prevailed over the #19 Bellevue Bruins for the third time this season. This win was one that outweighed the rest of them. It was the ticket to the big dance. We earned it today, commented head coach Trish Siedlik. The Flames won the match 30-21, 30-17, 30-22 sending a home crowd into celebration. CSM defense was a key to today's finals. Junior libero Jennifer Sackett (13 Black Coach) finished with 30 digs. She did a great job for us today. When she is on, we can win big. Four players finished with double digit digs in the match. Junior Lindsey Hill finished with 15 kills and not far behind with 12 was Senior Ashley Franzluebbers (14 Black Coach). Annie Jankowski (14 Gold Coach) has 38 set assists to set the Flames up for 47 total kills. In addition to the defense, the Flames sealed the net with 10 team blocks. We sealed that net perfectly. We isolated their hitters to a part of our court that we could dig them. The team worked real hard on accomplishing that strategy. The Flames will now head to the NAIA National Championships held at Point Loma Nazarene, in San Diego, CA November 30 through December 3. All matches at the National Tournament will be on the webcast. The No. 13 Flames are 33-6 for overall.
