ST. PAUL, MINN. – The season is sadly coming to an end for the St. Catherine University volleyball team. After a disappointing 3-2 loss to St. Olaf College, the Wildcats look to end their season on a high note with a win over the Hamline University Pipers on Saturday.

This will be the third straight season St. Kate's has ended its season against Hamline. The Wildcats and Pipers have each won a match in their last two meetings, with St. Kate's winning the most recent in 2015. 

Live stats and video will be available for the Wildcats final match of the season, which is scheduled for 5 p.m. at Hamline. Score updates will also be made on St. Kate's official Twitter page (@stkateswildcats) in between sets.
 
Here are the five facts to know before the Wildcats take on the Pipers Saturday evening:

4 – Last season, the Wildcats defeated Hamline in four sets in the final game of the regular season.  St. Kate's jumped ahead to a quick 2-0 set lead with a 25-18 win in the first set and a 25-13 win in the second. The Wildcats did surrender the third set to the Pipers but quickly won the fourth set 25-15 to clinch the match 3-1.

707 – After Wednesday's match at St. Olaf, Shanee Herd (Alexandria, Minn. / Jefferson) now has 707 digs on the season. She is just the second Wildcat defensive player to eclipse the 700 dig mark in a single season and still stands atop the MIAC in digs and digs/set average.  Herd, who has been stellar on defense for the Wildcats all season, is up for HERO DIII Best Libero of the Year.
