Lutes run ends at regionals

Nebraska Wesleyan boots PLU from national tournament

 

The Pacific Lutheran University volleyball season came to an end over the weekend in southern California. Nebraska Wesleyan Prairie Wolves eliminated the Lutes in the first round of the national tournament. The early exit was not what PLU had in mind, but many accomplishments were made during what was supposed to be a rebuilding year.

Pacific Lutheran’s scores against Nebraska Wesleyan went 28-26, 26-24, 19-25, 14-25, 12-15. After winning the first two sets, the Lutes experienced an inspired play by the Prairie Wolves. Three Lutes totaled double digits in kills with sophomore Beth Hanna leading the way with 17. First-year Kelsie Moore recorded 16 kills, while first-year Erin Bremond logged 11. PLU had 123 digs as a team, and junior Brenna Archibald led the team with 36. Other leaders include Hanna (29), Moore (23), sophomore Sarah Beaver (13) and first-year Katlyn Kester (10). Beaver dished out 53 assists.
