Volleyball
Posted 5 hours ago
SIOUX CITY, Iowa-- Top-ranked University of Jamestown won its opening pool play match Tuesday at the NAIA Women's Volleyball Championship at the Tyson Events Center, sweeping Texas Wesleyan University 26-24, 25-19, 25-19.

Jamestown, now 33-0 this season, wraps up pool play with a Wednesday match against No. 20 Indiana Wesleyan at 10:30 a.m.

It was a quick start for the Jimmies as they opened up with the first five points of set one, three of them coming on service aces. After the Rams got within 9-6, UJ twice built leads of nine points at 20-11 and 21-12.

An Anna Holen (SR/LaMoure, N.D.) kill put Jamestown ahead 23-17 and it appeared as if the Jimmies were ready to close out the set. Three straight TWU points cut the UJ lead in half, but Holen came back with another kill to put Jamestown at set point. Again TWU put together three straight to get within one and force a Jimmie timeout. A Jamestown attack error made it four in a row for the Rams and tied the set. Jayla Ritter (SR/Forest Lake, Minn.) answered with a kill, then a TWU attack error won the set for the Jimmies.

The second set got off to a similar start as Jamestown took leads of 5-1 and 9-2. Texas Wesleyan closed the gap to 14-12 after a Bailey Foy kill, then made it a one-point game at 16-15 after Foy and Arianna Alvarado combined for a block. Unfazed, the Jimmies took the next four points, capped off by a Ram attack error, to go ahead 20-16. A pair of Corina Huff (SR/Pequot Lakes, Minn.) kills accounted for the final UJ points and a 2-0 match lead.

Texas Wesleyan held a slim 4-3 lead in the third before Jamestown turned the tide. A 13-5 run gave the Jimmies a 16-9 lead and an overwhelming shift in momentum. The Rams got no closer than five points down the stretch, and another stellar hitting performance rounded out the win. Five of the final six Jimmie points came via kills, and the team hit .412 on 34 attempts in the set.

Huff led the way with 13 kills and hit. 407 for the match, while Ritter had 10 kills. Holen ended with eight kills, four aces, and 13 digs.

Jackie Meiklejohn (SR/Dickey, N.D.) passed out 22 assists and Megan Gaffaney (SR/Jamestown, N.D.) 18. Ellie Holen (SO/LaMoure, N.D.) finished with a team-high 20 digs. Huff had three blocks and Taylor Sabinash (SR/Kensal, N.D.) added two.

Wonder if he is interested in being Rocky’s replacement??? :)
I’ll guess that Boden Skunberg’s former teammate could have 2 years of eligibility if he did transfer……

On a bit of a thread drift, another interesting big is 6’ 10” 225 Jackson Moni down at Northern State. The Sheyenne HS grad averaged 14.2 ppg, 5.5 rpg as a true freshman in 31 mpg. Even shot .387 from 3 range.

I have watch Mason play over the last couple years and he is really tough inside and can also shot outside. Strong inside defender and rebounder. Uses his body well.

Jimmie mens volleyball team are back to back GPAC champions

KANSAS CITY, Mo.-- The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics has officially announced the qualifiers for the 2022 Men's Volleyball National Championship. The 12 team field will begin play on April 12 at the final site in Des Moines, Iowa at the MidAmerican Energy Company RecPlex.

The Jimmies (19-5) are the eighth seed and are in Pool A with top seed Grand View (Iowa) University and ninth-seeded Aquinas (Mich.) UJ opens pool play on April 13 against Aquinas at 7 p.m. and finish with Grand View on April 14 at 7 p.m.

The format of the tournament will include three days of pool play (four pools of three teams), with the top team in each pool advancing to a single-elimination tournament. Each team will play one match against the two other teams in its pool. A total of three matches (per pool) will be conducted on each of Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of the tournament. The top team in each pool will advance to Friday's semifinal matches, while the National Championship final will be played on Saturday.

All pool play matches will be streamed on the NAIA Network and the semifinals and the championship will be streamed on ESPN3.

DES MOINES, Iowa-- The fifth-ranked University of Jamestown men's volleyball team opened pool play with a sweep of No. 11 Aquinas (Mich.) College Wednesday evening at the NAIA Men's Volleyball Championship. Set scores were 25-17, 25-23, 25-20.

The Jimmies improve to 20-5 overall and will face No. 1 Grand View (Iowa) University Thursday at 7 p.m. in the final match of pool play. The winner of Thursday's match will advance to the semifinals.

Aquinas led 8-6 and 9-8 in set one before a kill by Derek Owens (SO/Andover, Minn.) and a combined block by Owens and Samuel Jackman (JR/St. Jean Baptiste, Manitoba) put UJ ahead 10-9. Jamestown would not trail again, and a 6-0 run after Aquinas had gotten as close at 16-15 proved to be the difference.

Set two was all Jimmies, and it looked as if UJ would cruise to an easy 2-0 match lead after taking a 17-10 lead. Aquinas hung around, and despite being down to set point at 24-20, reeled off three straight points and forced a Jamestown timeout. After the timeout, Korben Phillips (FR/Western, Australia) took a Derek Correa (SO/Vega Baja, Puerto Rico) pass and ended the set.

UJ played from behind in the third set, trailing as much as 10-7, then used a service error to start a string of three straight to tie the set. After Aquinas went back in front 11-10, the Jimmies used an Owens kill and two Saint attack errors to retake the lead. Jamestown kept the lead as high as three points, and a Caylor Cox (SO/Helena, Mont.) kill, Tanner Woods (SO/Huntington Beach, Calif.) ace, and Woods kill gave UJ the win.

Woods had 14 kills and hit .579, while Owens was a perfect 1.000 with nine kills. Correa passed out 28 assists and had four digs. Braden Neumann (SR/Costa Mesa, Calif.) had a team-best five digs, and Owens recorded five total blocks, including four solo.

Jimmies advance to bracket championship with win over Doane
Baseball
Posted 2 hours ago
CRETE, Neb.-- Isaiah Roebuck (FR/Marana, AZ)'s bases-clearing double highlighted a four-run third inning and Trei Hough (SO/Pocatello, ID) delivered seven superb innings on the mound as the University of Jamestown baseball team defeated Doane (Neb.) University 5-2 Saturday morning.

The fourth-seeded Jimmies (28-22) advance to the bracket championship on Monday at 12 p.m. while the top-seeded Tigers will play a loser-out game Saturday at 3 p.m.

Tayler Cullen (SR/Santa Rosa, Calif.) reached on an error by the Doane first baseman with one out in the second, then stole second base and moved to third on a groundout. Reece McKenzie (FR/Gresham, OR) delivered a key two-out single to score Cullen for a 1-0 lead.

Doane countered with a single run in the top of the third, but the Jimmies quickly retook the lead in the bottom half. Quade Peters (FR/West Fargo, ND) led off with a single down the right field line and was sacrificed to second by Kendall Yackley (JR/Lynnwood, WA). Xander Orejudos (JR/Ellensburg, WA) singled and Tanner Shepard (SR/Grand Rapids, MN) walked to load the bases. Luke Shekeryk (SR/Seattle, WA) was hit by a pitch to force home Peters, then one out later, Roebuck doubled to left center, clearing the bases and giving UJ another two-out hit.

The Tigers added one run in the fifth, but were held off the board for the final four innings.

Hough (5-1) gave up one earned run on four hits over seven innings, striking out six and issuing just one walk. It was the second time in three starts Hough went seven innings, and third time in his last four outings he went six. Outside of a 3 1/3 inning start against DWU on April 28, Hough is 3-0 with a 0.45 earned run average in 20 innings, with one earned run allowed on 11 hits. Hayden Brown (JR/Buckeye, AZ) struck out three in the final two innings to record his fourth save.

Roebuck was 2-for-4 to lead the offense. Cullen and Blake Arritola (JR/Salem, OR) each recorded a stolen base.

Saturday's win snapped a 10-game losing streak to Doane dating back to April 28, 2019

CRETE, Neb.-- Luke Shekeryk (SR/Seattle, WA) went 3-for-4 with two home runs and drove in seven to help the University of Jamestown baseball team to a 13-6 win over Doane (Neb.) University in the championship game of the Doane pod in the GPAC postseason tournament.

Jamestown (29-22) travels to face Concordia (Neb.) Tuesday at 6 p.m. in Seward, Neb., for the GPAC's second automatic bid to the NAIA national tournament. The Bulldogs won three elimination games Monday to capture the Seward pod of the tournament.

Shekeyrk led off the second inning with a solo home run to bring the Jimmies within 3-1 after the Tigers scored three times in their first at-bat. UJ scored three runs in each of the third, fifth, sixth, and seven innings, finishing with 14 hits in the game.

Tayler Cullen (SR/Santa Rosa, Calif.)'s bases-loaded double in the third made it 4-3 Jamestown, but Doane came back with a single run in the bottom half to tie the game at 4-4.

Trent Peters (SO/Niverville, MB, Canada) and Andrew Kupec (SO/Peoria, AZ) had RBI singles in the fifth and Shekeryk scored on a throwing error as the Jimmies took the lead for good at 7-4. The Tigers scored once in the fifth and had their last run come in the eighth.

After Quade Peters (FR/West Fargo, ND) and Tanner Shepard (SR/Grand Rapids, MN) reached base in the sixth, Shekeryk came through with a two-out, three-run homer that extended UJ's lead to 10-5.

Shekeryk continued his monster day at the plate in the seventh, clearing the bases with a double to right center to score Xander Orejudos (JR/Ellensburg, WA), Shepard, and Quade Peters.

Orejudos, Cullen, Quade Peters, and Reece McKenzie (FR/Gresham, OR) all had a pair of hits for Jamestown.

Kendall Yackley (JR/Lynnwood, WA) started on the mound and went three innings, giving up four runs (three earned) on 10 hits. Ben Ray (JR/Federal Way, WA) (3-0), the second of five Jimmie relievers, got the win after pitching 1 2/3 scoreless innings with three strikeouts. Overall, the UJ relief corps of Cameron Jenkins (SR/West Richland, WA), Ray, Noah Soltero (SR/North Las Vegas, NV), Cameron Multer (SO/Greeley, CO), and Hayden Brown (JR/Buckeye, AZ) worked six innings, allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits, walking two and striking out nine.

This will be the second time in the last three full seasons UJ and Concordia have met for the GPAC championship. Jamestown defeated the Bulldogs 3-0 on May 7, 2019 in Yankton, S.D., behind a four-hit shutout by Dru Fitz.

SEWARD, Neb.-- With two outs in the bottom of the 10th innings. the Concordia (Neb.) University was able to push across the winning run to defeat the University of Jamestown baseball team 7-6 in the GPAC championship game.

Concordia took a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the third, and the Jimmies were held scoreless until the top of the fifth. Tayler Cullen (SR/Santa Rosa, Calif.) led off the inning with a home run, then a two-out Quade Peters (FR/West Fargo, ND) single scored Isaiah Roebuck (FR/Marana, AZ) to draw UJ level.

The Bulldogs went back in front with a single run in the bottom of the fifth, but Jamestown answered in the top of the sixth as Xander Orejudos (JR/Ellensburg, WA), who doubled to start the inning, came home on Cullen's single to center field.

The back-and-forth affair continued as Concordia pushed home three runs in the bottom of the sixth for a 6-3 lead, the largest of the game. The Jimmies responded to the challenge their next time at bat, using a Kendall Yackley (JR/Lynnwood, WA) single and a two-run Tanner Shepard (SR/Grand Rapids, MN) double to draw level at 6-6.

CUNE had a chance to win in the bottom of the ninth, getting a runner to third with two out, but Hayden Brown (JR/Buckeye, AZ) struck out Keaton Candor to end the threat.

Brown (2-1) was the hard-luck loser, allowing one run on two hits while striking out two and issuing one walk. Ben Ray (JR/Federal Way, WA) got the final out for the Jimmies in the sixth, then retired the next six hitters he faced to keep Jamestown in the game.

The Jimmies ended the game with 11 hits, with two hits each by Orejudos, Shepard, Cullen, and Peters.
