OREM, Utah – Utah Valley State won its final two matches of the LaQuinta Utah Valley State Invitational with Anne Olsen and Lacee Koelliker being named to the All-Tournament Team. Utah Valley defeated Texas A&M-Corpus Christi 3-0 and finished off UC Davis 3-1 to secure second place in the tournament.

"Anne had a great tournament. She came through for us in a lot of situations," said head coach Sam Atoa. "Lacee did a tremendous job in running the offense."

In the UC Davis match, Utah Valley controlled most of the match out-playing the Aggies in most every catergory.

"I thought that was UC Davis' best match of the weekend, but give our girls credit for sticking to the game plan," said Atoa. "This was the best offensive match we had yet this year, I don't think we've had a match where they've hit over .200 in every game. We reached our goals in all areas," said Atoa.

The Wolverines hit .350, .314, .217, and .256, respectively in the four games.

In game one, it was balanced attack for the Wolverines, with five different players recording kills. Jessica Endres led the way in the set with six, and Camie Manwill had four. Utah Valley used a 7-0 run in the middle of the game to gain ground on the Aggies and take a 20-17 lead. The Wolverines would be in charge the rest of the way, taking it 30-27.

The offense continued to shine in game two with Olsen, the wild card, notching five kills and three service aces to lead Utah Valley to a run away 30-24 win. Manwill also finished the game with five kills. The Wolverines hit .314 in the set, with 19 totals kills.

The Aggies used 7-2 and 8-3 runs late in game three to take a 27-23 lead. The Wolverines could of stayed in the set and pushed for a win, but eight services aces prevented the sweep. UCD's Chantal Paschetta finished the game with four kills to help the Aggie cause, and lead to the 30-26 victory.

Game four was the Wolverine's from start to finish. Davis couldn't get much going, continued to pound away on the offensive side of the net, winning the game by 10, 30-20, and taking the match.

Three Wolverines notched double-digit kills and Koelliker continued to be outstanding distributing the ball. Endres finished with a career and match-high 19 kills, and Manwill also tallied a career best with 18. Olsen finished with 16 in the match, and tied a school record with six service aces in the match. Brooke Adams was another offensive threat who recorded a Utah Valley career best eight kills. Koelliker had another double-double making it six out of the nine matches this season. She had an impressive 57 assists, and 19 digs, only one dig under the match-high recorded by teammate Maegan Hoyt (20).

In the first match of the day for Utah Valley State Jessica Endres notched 13 kills in a 3-0 win over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi in second round play of the LaQuinta Utah Valley State Invitational. Endres tallied 5 kills in each of the first two games to lead the Wolverines to the sweep. She hit an impressive .364 on the afternoon.

Koelliker's streak of five straight matches with a double-double was snapped due to the lack of games played. She still finished wth 34 assists and 4 kills with no attack errors. Olsen was her next best option when Endres wasn't available. Olsen finished with 11 kills, and hit .381. Hoyt put up 12 digs on the defensive side of the net.

As a team the Wolverines hit .289, a season best, and out-blocked the Islanders 9-2.

Olsen and Koelliker were named to the All-Tournament team. The Wolverines host in-state rival, Utah on Tuesday, September 20th at 7:00 pm. Students and employees get in free with their UV I.D. card.
