FAYETTEVILLE — The University of Arkansas volleyball team successfully completed a five-game Alumni match in Barnhill Arena Sunday. Although no official statistics were kept, the Lady Razorbacks were able to measure success by different methods.

Arkansas junior Denitza Koleva and sophomore Jessica Dorrell unofficially led the Lady’Backs with 15 kills each while junior Kele Brewer added 11. Senior Karla Crose added one block solo and seven block assists while three Lady’Backs, Iva Docekalova, Nicole Martin and Caira Daugherty shared time at the setting position. Newcomers Krsitin Seaton and Christina Lawrence added five and six kills, respectively, for Arkansas.
