PITTSBURG, Kan. - Midwestern State completed its sweep of the Pittsburg State Regional Challenge rolling to wins over St. Mary's (Texas) and Missouri Southern Saturday afternoon at John Lance Arena.

Midwestern erupted for a season-best 10 service aces to key a 19-25, 25-19, 25-23, 25-18 victory over St. Mary's in Saturday's first match led by freshman setter Kristan Aduddell's four-ace performance.

White led an offensive explosion for Midwestern in the tournament finale as the Mustangs hit a season-high .333 in a 27-25, 25-18, 25-22 decision over Missouri Southern.
 
The senior from North Richland Hills put down 13 kills and committed a single error in 23 total attacks for a stellar .522 individual kill percentage.
