RALEIGH, N.C. - Senior co-captains Charece Williams and Alison Kreager earned all-tournament honors at the Indiana University-Purdue University (IUPUI) Tournament this weekend after leading the NC State volleyball team to a five-game victory over host IUPUI in the tournament finale on Sunday night.
NC State, which began play for the 2001 season in the IUPUI Tournament, improved to 2-1. IUPUI fell to 1-2.
Williams had 22 kills and 10 digs for NC State, while Kreager had 11 kills, four digs and five blocks as the Wolfpack defeated the Jaguars 17-30, 30-22, 30-24, 26-30 and 15-7. For the second time in as many wins for the Wolfpack, Williams paced the Pack in hitting percentage with a gaudy .395 percentage in 38 total attempts. The Pack hit .208 for the match, compared to .101 for IUPUI.
In addition to the outstanding performances by its seniors, NC State got another strong outing from freshman Melanie Rowe, who had 17 kills, four digs and five blocks. Sophomore Caroline Frede had a season-high seven service aces, and freshman Maya Mapp had a season-best six blocks.
The Wolfpack concludes its trip to Indianapolis on Monday with a Labor Day match at Butler. Game time is 2 p.m.
