ROHNERT PARK, Calif-  The Sonoma State volleyball team continued their excellent play on Saturday with a convincing 3-0 sweep of second-place Cal Poly Pomona in CCAA action in Rohnert Park.  The Seawolves are now 3-1 in their last four games, all against teams ranked in the top seven of the region.  SSU is now 8-12, 4-7 CCAA.  The Broncos fall to 15-5, 7-4 CCAA.

The win comes on the heels of last week's upsets of No. 16 Cal State L.A. and No. 21 UC San Diego.  Last night's opponent, Cal State San Bernardino, was ranked No. 2 in the nation.  Cal Poly Pomona was the top "receiving votes" team, which left them 26th in the nation.

The first game was a back-and-forth affair that could have gone either way on multiple occasions.  It looked like the Broncos might sneak out with a victory when they were serving game point at 30-29.  SSU, however, would have none of that as they took the next three points, winning the game 32-30. 

SSU trailed 14-13 in game two before going on a 12-2 run to win going away, 30-23. 

The Seawolves had captured every ounce of momentum in the building by game three and raced to leads of 6-0 and 15-5 on their way to an easy 30-18 win.

Kristy Sather was SSU's go-to-player in the second and third games and finished with a game-high 16 kills.  Kaylee Aizenstadt, one of the conference's most efficient hitters, hit a stellar .433 on the night with 15 kills and just two errors.  Marianne Fox was also in double digits with ten kills. 

Lindsay Brown was solid all night long at setter for SSU, finishing the night with 42 assists.  Taylor Manton accrued 22 digs and Sarah Hillier pitched in with 16.

Antoinette Kathol led the Broncos with nine kills.  Cally Young had 20 assists and Kiting Kolar posted 13 digs.

The Seawolves out hit the Broncos .222 to .081 for the game, though CPP did out block SSU 11-4.

The Seawolves hope to keep the good times rolling next Saturday when they head south to take on Cal State Dominguez Hills.
