Outside hitter Jadyn Holman had a career-best performance to close out the regular season for the Madison College volleyball team. 

Holman tied a school record for kills in a match as she led her team to a 3-1 win over visiting Joliet Junior College at home on Oct. 21. Not a bad way for one of the team’s six sophomores to celebrate sophomore night. 

Madison College won the match over Joliet, 25-18, 25-22, 20-25, and 25-17. Holman led the way with a whopping 25 kills, 13 digs and two aces. It was her 11th double-double of the season. A 6-foot, 2-inch outside hitter, Holman now has a team-high 318 kills on the season.  

It was Holman’s third match of the season with 20 or more kills. Five matches prior, she posted 24 kills against Rock Valley College to tie for third most in school history. She now shares the school record for kills in a match with two others. 

Fellow sophomore Calla Borchert also had a strong match, posting 11 kills, five blocks and two aces.  

Other sophomores playing in their final regular season home match for the WolfPack were Amelia Walton, Olivia Marron, Kaleia Lawrence, Abigail Lewis and Taleise Lawrence. 

After winning four of its last five matches, Madison College finished the regular season with a 15-12 overall record and a 6-4 conference record.  

Next up for the WolfPack is the NJCAA Region 4 Division III women’s volleyball tournament semifinals on Oct. 28. Winners will advance to play on Oct. 30 for a berth in the national tournament.
