No. 7 Southwestern remains perfect behind heavy hitters in conference opener
Posted: Sep 17, 2016

SAN ANTONIO – Kate Mitchell was nearly unstoppable Friday night, posting a .484 hitting percentage with 17 kills to lead the No. 7 Pirates to a 3-1 win over Trinity.

Jamison Duck added 15 digs and a dozen winners.

SU, which improved to 10-0 (1-0 SCAC), blew past the Tigers in set one and edged out sets three and four to collect the victory.

Southwestern remains in San Antonio for SCAC play with a pair of matches Saturday, facing Texas Lutheran and Schreiner.

Head Coach Don Flora on the victory...
"Getting off to a fantastic start passing and serving tonight was huge in set one. But, give Trinity some credit for flipping the momentum in set two. It was some quality defense and pressure serving that allowed us to pull out sets three and four.

Kate Mitchell was as strong as advertised offensively and came through in crunch time. Jamison Duck was low error and showed her range a little better tonight. And with Andie Alford leading the match in digs, it continues to show her skills are getting better every match."
