Fayetteville, Ark. ? Led by 15 kills from senior outside hitter Tiana Dockery, Kansas University cruised to a three-set victory over Army to open the Arkansas Invitational — and the 2015 season — on Friday at Barnhill Arena.

KU rolled to a 25-14, 25-14, 25-20 victory.

“I was really happy with the way we came out,” Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. “The first two sets were really clean. The third went a little bit more like volleyball goes. A couple of bounces didn’t go our way, but we finished on a nice stretch.”

Dockery had 15 kills against just two errors for a .433 hitting efficiency. Kelsie Payne put up 11 kills and eight digs.

Junior middle blocker Tayler Soucie led the team with a .500 attack percentage thanks to nine kills and only one error, while fellow junior middle Janae Hall paced the defense with five blocks.

The Jayhawks will face McNeese State at 1 p.m. and Arkansas at 7 p.m. today in the tournament.
