FAIRBANKS, Alaska – Senior Elissa Stanton broke the St. Edward's record for highest hitting percentage in a match as she helped lead the Hilltoppers to a 3-0 sweep of Tiffin on day two of the 2014 Flint Hills Resource Nanook Classic Friday evening. St. Edward's bested the Lady Dragons, 25-17, 25-21, 25-22.
 
Stanton pounded out 12 kills in 16 attempts for a .750 hitting percentage to beat a 12-year old record held by St. Edward's Hall of Famer Erika Figueiredo, who had a .645 hitting percentage against West Georgia during the 2002 season.
 
St. Edward's (2-0) trailed early in the first set, 10-8, but the Hilltoppers rallied to win five of the next six points to take a 13-11 advantage. The Dragons would make it close at 16-15, but St. Edward's closed out the match winning nine of the last 11 points for a 25-17 win.
 
In set two, the Hilltoppers raced out to a 7-0 lead. That would increase to 19-10 midway through the set. Tiffin rallied late to come within, 23-19, but the Hilltoppers closed it out with kills from Mary Koehler and Amy Jones.
 
The final set saw the Dragons take an 18-16 lead but St. Edward's was not to be denied. Led by Stanton's three-straight kills, St. Edward's won seven of the next eight points to take a commanding lead.
 
To go along with Stanton's 12 kills, Hannah Rauch tallied 11 kills and Koehler added 10 of her own. Koehler also had 10 digs for her first double-double of the year, while Kelly Jimenez led the defense with a team-high 14 digs.
