OMAHA 3, UT-PAN AMERICAN 1
In the final match of the day, the Omaha blocking corps was the catalyst, as the Mavericks outblocked UTPA, 19-10. The 19 team blocks marked a season high for UNO and represented its highest team block total since Sept. 9, 2009, when the Mavs had 20 against Nebraska-Kearney.

Wollak led the way again in the nightcap, snagging her fifth double-double on a team highs of 14 kills and 16 digs with three blocks. Bailey, who was named to the all-tournament team at the night's conclusion, matched Wollak with 16 digs and also had two aces.

Schmale was UNO's leader at the net, tying her season high of nine blocks along with six kills on .444 hitting. Junior middle blocker Amy Taylor chipped in eight blocks, and Schimmer put up seven kills, 13 assists, eight digs and five blocks with an ace.

Freshman outside hitter Mackenzie Horkey also had eight kills with 11 digs and three blocks, while junior middle blocker Diane Banderas and redshirt freshman middle blocker Amanda Conlin each had four blocks.

The Broncs were paced by 13 kills from Kyra Hill, along with 12 from Maria Kliefoth. Haley Durham had six blocks for UTPA.

In addition to its outstanding blocking performance, Omaha held UTPA to .086 hitting while compiling a .178 attack percentage itself.

"We started off this weekend's tournament sluggish and did not have a great first day," head coach Rose Shires said. "Today was a much better day, and we were in focus and attacked our opponents. When our blocking game is on like it was today, we play with more confidence and at a much higher level."

Omaha returns to action on Friday, Sept. 26, opening Summit League action against IUPUI. The match is set for a 7 p.m. start at Sapp Fieldhouse, and links to live stats and live video will be available on OMavs.com.
