The Northern Arizona volleyball team ripped through Sacramento State, 25-15, 25-22, 25-19, on Sunday to open the spring season with a bang in the Rolle Activity Center.

A large reason for that was the performance of sophomore Taylor Jacobsen, who put down a resounding 18 kills without an error on 28 swings.
