The Dominican University women’s volleyball team snagged the two-seed in the 2010 Northern Athletics Conference (NAC) Women’s Volleyball Tournament with a 3-0 (25-14, 25-15, 25-21) victory over the Wisconsin Lutheran College Warriors on Wednesday night.

Claire Dezelski (Northville, Mich.), making her fifth straight start, notched a match-high 9 kills and is averaging 11.2 kills per match since cracking the Stars’ starting lineup for the University of Chicago match on October 20. Dezelski also added ten digs for the double-double effort in the win.

As a team, the Stars hit .247, committing just six errors in the match on 97 attack attempts. Marissa Mafuli (Florissant, Mo.) had eight kills and just two hitting errors while seniors Darcy Kammeier (Kirkwood, Mo.) and Kasey Kiepura (Vernon Hills, Ill.) combined for nine kills on 38 attack attempts while not committing a single error.

Defensively, Dominican held the Warriors to just a hitting percentage of .056, as the Stars posted 13.0 total blocks. Kiepura had seven total blocks, two solo and five block assists, while Dezelski added five block assists. Sophomore Liz Yakey logged a team-high 16 digs for Dominican.

Dominican will close out the 2010 regular season at the Washington University (Mo.) Invitational on Friday and Saturday. The Stars then open postseason play on Tuesday, November 2, hosting the Rockford College Regents in the first round of the NAC Tournament. If the Stars win, they will host either Edgewood College or Marian University in the semifinals on Thursday.
