Browns Breaks Record; Grassl Gets 100th Win

Lindsay Brown has more assists than anyone in Sonoma State history
ARCATA, Calif-  It was a momentous night for the Sonoma State volleyball team on Wednesday in Arcata.  In the Seawolves' 3-0 win over the Lumberjacks, not only did junior Lindsay Brown break the program's all-time assist record, but head coach Bear Grassl picked up the 100th win of his career.  The victory pushes the Seawolves' record to an impressive 22-6, 14-5 CCAA.

Despite the stellar record and third place standing in the CCAA, the Seawolves found out today that they somehow slipped two spots in the NCAA Regional Rankings this week to No. 8, meaning a win on Saturday in the season finale against UC San Diego may be crucial to the team's NCAA Tournament hopes. 

The Seawolves won 27-25, 25-18, 26-24 to complete a season sweep of the Lumberjacks (9-17, 7-12 CCAA).

Brown had 39 saves on Wednesday to give her 2,431 in her Sonoma State career, breaking Tina Mesquita's old standard of 2,395.  Just a junior, Brown has another season to expand her record.

Bear Grassl, in his seventh year at the helm, is now 100-90 in his career.  With 22 wins this season, the Seawolves are tied for second in school history.  The school record is 24 wins, set in 1997.

Marianne Fox led the Seawolves on Wednesday night with 17 kills and a .245 hitting percentage.  Ali Walker stepped up with ten kills and 19 digs in an impressive overall performance. 

The Seawolves close out the regular season on Saturday when they host UC San Diego.
