Women's Volleyball Rolls to Win at Alma

Box Score

ALMA - The fifth-ranked Calvin women's volleyball team rolled to a 25-15, 25-14, 25-22 win at Alma Wednesday night inside Art Smith Arena. The Knights are now 15-3 overall and 6-1 in the MIAA heading into a six-day break from competition.

Calvin hit .295 as a team and took control early ripping through a fast-paced first set and then continuing the momentum in set two.

Alma (8-10 overall, 4-3 MIAA) stiffened in set three but the Knights were able to build a 24-20 lead. The Scots came up with the next two points, forcing Calvin to call timeout with a 24-22 lead. Calvin responded out the timeout with a match-ending kill by senior Ellie Diepersloot (Madera, CA/Chowchilla HS).

Junior Maggie Kamp (Orland Park, IL/Chicago Christian HS) racked up 13 kills and 10 digs for Calvin while sophomore Laura Danhoff (Willard, OH/Willard HS) had 11 digs, three service aces and three block assists. Diepersloot had eight kills and senior Emily Crowe (Granger, IN/Mishawaka Penn HS) six kills, two solo blocks and a .545 hitting percentage.

Freshman setter Jenna Lodewyk (Villa Park, IL/Timothy Christian HS) tossed out 34 assists and was credited with eight digs and one service ace. Senior libero Elise Biesboer (Elmhurst, IL/Timothy Christian HS) had 11 digs and one service ace.

"I thought that we played with heart and we played well together," said head coach Amber Warners. "Alma is not an easy place to play. Any time we pick up a three-set win here means we've had a real positive performance."

Calvin returns to action next Tuesday when it hosts Olivet at Van Noord Arena at 6:30 p.m.
