COMMERCE, Texas – Led by 17 kills on a .739 attack percentage by sophomore Megan Peterson, the No. 17 Colorado School of Mines volleyball team posted a 3-0 win over Arkansas-Fort Smith in its first action on Saturday at the A&M-Commerce Classic. 

Mines captured the win behind set scores of 25-19, 26-24 and 25-20 and posted sideout percentages of 0.76, 0.66 and 0.66 over the three games.
