BROOKINGS, S.D. - Sylvie Zgonc once again etched her name into the SDSU history books, as she broke the Jackrabbits all-time kills record on Thursday night against UND.
Zgonc came into the match needing six kills to tie the record and seven to break it. She did just that and then some in the first set as she put away eight kills on her way to a 16 kill night, where she hit .361 with three assists and two blocks.
Joslyn Richardson led the team in digs with 16 and put away two aces in the first set, to increase her career total to 98, two away from 100 career aces. Brooke Larsen flirted with a triple-double once again, putting up 18 assists, alongside nine kills and six digs for the Jackrabbits. Summit League block leader Taylor Byl put up foru blocks on the night alongside six kills on 10 swings.
HOW IT HAPPENED:
Set 1: The Jacks came out firing in the first set, rattling off a 5-0 run to start the game with two Joslyn Richardson aces sprinkled in. From there, they kept their foot on the pedal as they forced the media timeout at 15-10, behind six Zgonc kills in the first 15 points. The Jacks put together a 6-0 run at the end of the set to clinch the set and take a 1-0 lead on the Fighting Hawks
Set 2: The second set was a back and forth affair as the Fighting Hawks held their ground against the Jacks. The two teams raced out to a 10-10 deadlock before SDSU dropped a three-point run and eventually forced the media timeout at 15-12. The Fighting Hawks battled back and cut the deficit to two at 19-17, but the Jacks held them off, landing a couple of two-point runs and taking the set, 25-20.
Set 3: The third set was true fight between the two squads as North Dakota sped out to an early lead before the Jacks responded and tied the game up at 9-9. The Fighting Hawks forced their first media timeout of the night, 15-12 but the Jacks once again battled back and tied the game up at 18-18, before putting together a 5-2 run at the end of the match to steal the set from North Dakota and finish the match off, 25-22 and 3-0.
