I only caught the second half of the third game and it wasn't pretty. SDSU was
running out of gas. They were trailing 12-5 when I walked in and they never got
closer than within 7 points of the Huskies. Kaitlin Leck served an ace for the
match.
Kill Leaders:
Washington: Benjamin 23, Tomasevic 11, Bjorklund 8 and McDonald 7
SDSU: Cansdale 10, Anguelova 9, McPartland 8 and Wright 5

G1: UH jumped to a 2-0 start. USF made it 2-1, but fell behind for good after
that. Despite USF timeouts at 20-13 and 25-14, the gap continued to widen until
Willoughby put down game point on Jennifer Carey's serve. UH outhit USF .452 to
.050, out-dug them 22-11, out-aced them 1-0 and matched them in blocks with 2.

the Wahine ran away for good after trailing 14-15. Two natural points including
an ace by Duggins and the Wahine made it 17-15. A moment later, Villaroman

UH never looked back after that. USF sided out trailing 14-29 and managed to
