Kennedi Burnett paced SJO (1-0) with 13 kills to go along with five digs. Shayne Immke added nine kills and six digs, while Becca Steinbach narrowly missed out on a double-double by compiling 32 assists and nine digs to go along with two blocks.
Addie Roesch (three aces) and Hannah Fox (16 digs) also chipped in for the Spartans.

\]SJO is set to get back into action at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Georgetown-Ridge Farm before hitting the road again Thursday for a 7 p.m. nonconference match against Bismarck-Henning/Rossville-Alvin.
