Kansas University’s volleyball team earned its fifth sweep after defeating UMKC, 25-17, 25-23, 25-16, Saturday in Horseji Family Athletics Center to round out the Kansas Invitational.
The Jayhawks (6-0) made quick work of the Kangaroos thanks to the defensive play of libero Cassie Wait.
Wait tallied 23 digs to pace KU, and Madison Rigdon and Ainise Havili recorded 14 and 11, respectively.
Havili also dished out 44 assists, with a combined 27 of them leading to kills by Tiana Dockery and Kelsie Payne.
KU will hit the road again as it begins Pistol Pete’s Showdown with matches against Northern Colorado and Wyoming on Friday in Laramie, Wyoming.
