MINOT, N.D. – No. 11 St. Cloud State Volleyball (19-5, 14-2 Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference) took down Minot State (3-22, 1-15 NSIC) in straight sets at the Minot State Dome on Saturday afternoon to close the team's trip to North Dakota. The Huskies took the match, 25-10, 25-22, 25-17.

TOP HUSKIES

Sophomore libero Laurin Hamann (Manitowoc, Wis.) – 16 digs and four aces
Sophomore setter Braya LaPlant (Grand Rapids, Minn.) – 27 assists in two sets
Junior middle blocker Hannah Bruskiewicz (Rogers, Minn.) – six kills on six swings, two solo blocks and two block assists
Freshman outside hitter Emery Thury (Watertown, S.D.) – seven kills (.429 hitting percentage) and six digs
Junior outside hitter Shelby Kimm (North Liberty, Iowa) – seven kills (.417 hitting percentage) and five digs in two sets

QUOTABLE – St. Cloud State head coach Chad Braegelmann
"Another solid offensive performance for us today, as we had eight players with two or more kills. We have 15 women see playing time again today, and through all the different lineups that we put out there, we still performed very well offensively and defensively. Our serving and passing were not quite as consistent as they have been, but we were able to do enough to overcome that. Any time you can play two matches on a weekend, go 2-0, and hold your opponents to below .100 hitting percentage in both matches, that's definitely a win."
