The Ole volleyball team, coming off a four game loss to St. Thomas Friday night, came back and cruised by Hamline in three games 30-11, 30-25, 30-28 Saturday afternoon at Skoglund Center.

St. Olaf's offense was on fire with 55 kills to Hamline's 28. The Ole's had four players reach double digits in kills led by Andrea Otteman (So., Ames, Iowa) with 13, and Rebecca Anderson (FY, Logan, Utah) with 11. Danica Finseth (Jr., Chatfield, Minn.) and Ashley Dennis (So., Billings, Mont./Sky View) each had 10.

The Ole defense was just as impressive with three players reaching double digits in digs, topping Hamline in that category 62-49.

The win brings St. Olaf to a 3-6 record in the MIAC, and 9-12 overall.

The Oles plays St. Catherine's at 7:30 Wednesday evening at Skoglund Center.
