Jayhawks win second straight tournament
GEOFFREY CALVERT

After three outstanding performances from junior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc, the Kansas volleyball team won the Jayhawk Invitational for its second straight tournament title this season. The victory also capped an undefeated seven-match home stand.
Jarmoc earned tournament MVP honors after hitting percentages of .381, .824 and .478 against the College of Charleston, Arizona State, and Woming.
"I've just been working on eliminating errors and I definitely think that worked," larmoc said.
Kansas defeated Wyoming Saturday night in three sets to take the tournament title. Wyoming surprised the layhawks with their strategy, often committing three blockers to a Jayhawk hitter.
"They present certain problems because their system's a little bit different than what you see", coach Ray Bechard said. "They play a little more fast-break and off-speed than you might see."
The Jayhawks swept all three sets 25-13, 25-21 and 25-18. However,
as the Cowgirls committed blocker-
ers up front, the Jayhawks' hitting
percentage decreased, dropping to .316 in the second set and .214 in
the third.
Despite this, Wyoming only recorded five blocks for the game. Bechard said although the team wasn't used to seeing three blockers, he was more upset that his team only notched one block during the match.
"Five blocks is not a lot to have against you, but one is obviously a poor number," Bechard said. "What they do when they run hitters in your zone, they're trying to get one-on-one matchups. You've got to win the dig battle in that situation, and that's what we did."
Junior libero Brianne Riley helped the Jayhawks win the dig battle, 47-41.
Riley had 21 digs on the night,
averaging seven per set.
Against Arizona State in the Jayhawks' second match of the tournament Friday night, Riley notched 23 kills during the four-set match, keeping Arizona State from distancing themselves from Kansas during the match.
Arizona State took the first set from the Jayhawks, 25-20. With the second set tied at 17, Kansas went on an 8-2 run, capped by two digs from Riley on the set's final point.
"If she wants to be an elite libero in this league at this level, that's what we need from her," Bechard said. "She dug a lot of hard-driven balls late in that set that allowed us to transition and score some points."
After Arizona State used a 5-0 run to tie the third set at 14, the Jayhawks tied on eight blocks during the set to hang on for a 26-24 set victory. In the fourth set, neither team led by more than three points, but Kansas held on for a 25-23 set victory and a 3-1 match win.
Junior setter Erin McNorton had 49 assists and 11 digs for the Jayhawks against Arizona State, her first career double-double. Senior middle blocker Toley Tolefree also had a double-double for the Jayhawks, recording 10 kills and 10
blocks. Her four solo blocks tied a Horeksi Family Athletics Center record.
Jarmoc and sophomore outside hitter Chelsea Albers also contributed six block assists for the lavhwacks.
"I think we had an aggressive mindset that we need to do our job really well tonight," Tolefine said. "Once someone gets on a roll then everybody else wants to get in on it, so I think we helped each other and built off each other."
The Jayhawks swept the College of Charleston in their first match of the tournament Friday morning. 25-15, 25-18, 25-15. Jarmoc led the Jayhawks with 11 kills, five blocks and a .381 hitting percentage. Riley had 15 dies for the Jayhawks.
"We should never doubt ourselves," Jarmoc said. "This year we are going to be a game-finishing team. Pressure is something that we shouldn't feel because we should always have control on our side."
Jarmoc said the seven-match home stand showed the Jayhawks they can be an elite team and have the talent to finish close sets, something they struggled with last year.
