Jordan Mullen produced double-figure kills for the fifth time this season as Colorado College began the day with a 25-13, 25-19, 26-24 victory over the University of St. Thomas in the first-ever meeting between the programs.

Mullen put down a match-high 12 kills for the Tigers, who improved to 15-2 overall and 6-0 in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference.

Allie Freeburg added eight kills on 15 swings with only one error. The junior right side hitter finished with match-high a .467 hitting percentage.

Mullen had four kills as CC utilized a 16-6 run to close out the first set.

The Celts led 13-12 midway through the second set, but a 5-0 run gave the Tigers a lead they would not relinquish. St. Thomas pulled to within 21-19 on a kill by Courtney Bates, but Freeburg had a pair of kills as Colorado College scored the final four points.

UST had a chance to extend the match when it overcame an early 18-11 deficit to serve for the set at 24-23, but a ball-handling error leveled the score and the Tigers shut the door with a Mullen service ace and a kill by Georgia Mullins.

CC held the Celts to a .054 hitting percentage, marking the 10th time in 17 matches that an opponent hit below .100 against the Tigers.
