Freshman Karolyne Wolfgramm had 32 assists, 12 digs and three aces for NIC (20-1, 8-0 NWAC).

“Karolyne did a great job of running her team and keeping us focused,” NIC coach Brittany Tilleman said. Athletically, we’re good, but need to be able to control the little things. If we can do that, we’ll be just fine.”
