Volleyball sweeps Holy Cross in UC Davis Invitational

RENO, Nev. – The Nevada volleyball team picked up its second win of the day after sweeping the Holy Cross Crusaders, (25-19, 25-17, 25-19), in the night cap of the UC Davis Invitational. The Wolf Pack moves to 2-0 on the season.

Sophomore Kayla Afoa picked up her first double-double of the season after recording 11 kills, tying her career high, and 13 digs. Junior Jamila Minor also collected a double-double on the night with 14 kills and 13 digs while carrying a .389 kill percentage. Sam Hayward, a sophomore outside hitter, claimed 13 kills of her own on 27 attempts for a .333 hitting percentage.

The Pack took a commanding lead in the first set on a seven point run that included two service aces from Minor seizing a 20-11 advantage. The Crusaders worked the margin down to four, 21-17, but Nevada held on to finish, 25-19.

Taking an early lead of 4-0 in the second set, Nevada maintained pace allowing head coach Lee Nelson to sub in a few newcomers including sophomore Kassie McGill, who delivered the final kill of the set.

In the third set, redshirt freshman, Hailey Maniglia came in and claimed three points, including the match point, off an assist from junior Dalyn Burns.

Burns had 39 assists and 9 digs on the night, while senior Mo Maluotoga racked up 36 digs for a 5.14 average.

Nevada continues tournament play in the UC Davis Invitational tomorrow, Aug. 25, when they take on host team, UC Davis, at 7 p.m. PT. The match will be live streamed on BigWest.tv or fans can follow the game play on Twitter @PackVB.
