ELLENSBURG, Wash-  Efficiency was the name of the game on Saturday morning as Sonoma State needed just 59 minutes to defeat Saint Martin's in three sets at the CWU Invitational in Ellensburg, Washington.  The Seawolves won two of their three matches in the Evergreen State to improve to 6-1 on the season.  They are enjoying their best start in several years.

Kristy Sather continued her solid play, leading Sonoma State with 12 kills and just two errors for a .385 clip.  Following Saturday's action, Sather was named to the All-Tournament Team.

Lindsay Brown had 25 assists and Kelsey Dall was tops with 16 digs.  The Seawolves hit .308 as a team, their second-highest mark of the season.
