TULSA, Okla. �€" Sophomore outside hitter Ori Zuzic's (Porec, Croatia) set a new Mid-Con single-season kill record as she led ORU to a straight set (30-28, 30-17, 30-23) victory over conference foe IUPUI Friday night. With the win, the Golden Eagles (17-13, 9-5) clinch a spot in next weekend's Mid-Con Conference Tournament at ORU's Aerobic Center.

Zuzic registered 21 kills on the night and now has 556 on the season, setting a new Mid-Con record. It was also her conference-leading 16th 20-kill performance. Zuzic hit a blistering .500 for the match, committing only three errors. She also had a solid game on the defensive end, contributing eight digs.

Senior libero Becky Dreher (Prince George, British Columbia, Canada) chipped in with a 33 dig effort, bringing her season total to 710. Since the inception of the 30-point scoring format, Dreher is only the fifth player to register 700 digs in a season.

Entering the night, the Golden Eagles needed a win to secure a top four finish in the conference and a spot in the Mid-Con's post-season tournament. After playing a tight first game, ORU refused to let the Jaguars (14-16, 8-5) into the game.

As a team, the Golden Eagle hit .291 on the night while limiting their opponents to a merger .161. Sophomore middle blocker Maja Devic (Split, Croatia) hit a game-high .577 for ORU as she added 17 kills on 26 attempts.
