LOS ANGELES, Calif-  The Sonoma State volleyball team closed out the 2007 season on Saturday afternoon with a 3-0 loss at the hands of Cal State L.A. at the Eagles Nest in Los Angeles.  The Seawolves finish the season at 13-14, 9-9 CCAA.  In the loss, Lindsay Brown and Marianne Fox set school single-season records for assists and service aces, respectively.

The Golden Eagles took Saturday's match by scores of 30-21, 30-26, 30-25.

The second half of the season was quite a turn around for Sonoma State.  Heading in to this weekend, SSU had won six in a row and eight of their last nine games to rebound from a tough 5-11 start to the season.  Unfortunately, the losses to UC San Diego on Friday and Cal State L.A. on Saturday ended their hopes of a post-season berth.

Kristy Sather led the Seawolves on Saturday with 15 kills.  She finishes the season with 373 kills, the most by a Seawolf since 2002 and the seventh-best mark in school history. 

Lindsay Brown led the team in assists in the season finale, as she did in every other match this year, finishing with 29.  Her 1,140 assists for the season break the school record, set by Colleen Ferguson (1,116) in 1995.

Taylor Manton led on defense, finishing with 15 more digs to give her 712 for the season.  She becomes the first SSU player to surpass the 700-dig plateau in a season (several weeks after becoming the first to reach 600). 

Marianne Fox also broke the school's all-time service ace record with her 53rd of the season.  Just a freshman, Fox is also SSU's all-time freshman kills leader with 304.

Other top ten performances by the Seawolves this year:
- Kaylee Aizenstadt hit .280 for the season, the 10th best mark in school history.
- Kristy Sather's 3.85 kills per game are the 3rd best in school history.
- Lindsay Brown's 41 service aces are tied for 6th in school history.

The Seawolves look to be a contender in 2008 as they will lose just two seniors off this year's team, Taylor Manton and Lillian Harms.
