DENVER – For the second time in three years, the Rockhurst volleyball team is headed to the NCAA Division II national semifinals.

The 19th-ranked Hawks posted a 3-0 victory over the Carson-Newman Eagles in the national quarterfinals Thursday at the Auraria Event Center in Denver, Colorado.

The third-seeded Hawks (33-7) will face second-ranked Nebraska-Kearney in the national semifinals at 5:00 p.m. (Mountain time) Friday night.

“I thought we started off pretty good,” said Rockhurst coach Tracy Rietzke. “It was almost too easy. (Carson-Newman) played a little harder in the second and third sets, and we didn’t play as hard. We’ll have to play harder tomorrow. We’ll have a tougher one tomorrow (vs. Nebraska-Kearney).”

Karli Reichert paced the Hawks with nine kills, seven digs and two blocks. Dani Prusha collected 26 assists, 11 digs and four kills. Alyssa Woodman finished with eight kills.

Audrey Arand had six kills, eight digs and four blocks. Mary Rolf posted five kills with a team-high 625 hitting percentage. Justice Wingate added three kills and four blocks.

The Hawks jumped out to a 21-8 lead behind a 16-2 run. The Hawks only needed nine kills while the Eagles committed nine hitting errors.

Set Two: Rockhurst 25, Carson-Newman 23
Rockhurst rallied from a 17-14 deficit to take a 23-19 lead. Reichert and Arand combined for nine kills and five digs.

Set Three: Rockhurst 25, Carson-Newman 20
The Hawks closed out the match on a 14-6 run keyed by a 7-0 run. Reichert and Woodman combined for six kills.
