Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 The Colorado College freight train keeps rolling along.

Fueled by the hitting of freshman Abbe Holtze, along with sophomores Courtney Birkett and Lauren Hahn, the Tigers made short work of Southwestern University and Schreiner University on Saturday with a pair of 3-0 victories in their first two of four weekend Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference cross-divisional matches in Sherman, Texas.

Holtze hammered down 11 kills and Birkett 10 in an early 26-24, 25-22, 25-12 sweep of Southwestern. Hahn matched Hotlze's 12 kills as eighth-ranked CC improved to 28-2 overall, and 11-1 in league play, with a 25-14, 25-19, 25-14 triumph over Schreiner in Saturday's nightcap.

Southwestern was a point away from taking the first set, battling back from a 22-21 deficit to take a 24-23 lead, but Holtze's fifth kill of the set followed by consecutive attack errors by the Pirates let Colorado College off the hook.

Holtze, who led both teams with 11 kills altogether, added 13 digs in the triumph while sophomores Sophie Merrifield and Karina Guerrero posted 28 and 14, respectively. Kristen Liberty and Hahn chipped in with seven kills apiece, with freshman Keli Sherwood adding six. Liberty had a hand in four blocks.

Birkett had nine kills and Sherwood seven in the later match, when freshman Rebecca Watson dished up 40 assists. Birkett added 15 digs, one fewer than libero Merrifield's 16.

The Tigers take on Trinity University and Texas Lutheran as action continues on Sunday.
