Spring Break
Undefeated Bison thunder thru Kansas City

Issue date: 10/27/08 Section: Sports
In a stanza that was not as close as the final score indicated, it was freshman outside hitter Elizabeth Beck's turn to shine as she collected four kills to lead the Roos.
"We fought the entire night to gain control … it seemed like it was back and forth all night," Beck said. "They've [NDSU] got that skill level we're working for every day in practice and it seems like we're getting closer and closer."
It just wasn't quite close enough. Game three saw a sluggish Roo squad fall 14-25 to a Bison team that seemed to feed on every ensuing point.
UMKC seemed unable to establish any momentum whatsoever in the uneventful final game.
"It was a tough night," Frugoli said. "[Losing game one] took a notch out of their confidence, then falling in the second game took another notch away … by the third game they [Roos] were just mentally defeated."
UMKC (8-17 overall, 3-8 Summit) left the locker room after an extended session with their coach with Centenary College (Saturday's opponent) on their mind.
NDSU (15-3, 9-0 Summit) headed north for a match with South Dakota State University over the weekend.
