ELLENSBURG, Wash- Sophomore Keala Peterson and freshman Ally Sather combined for 27 kills as the No. 24 ranked Seawolves cruised to another three-set victory Thursday, this time against Seattle Pacific (25-15, 25-19, 25-11) to improve to a unblemished 6-0 record -- the best start since 2001. The Falcons stumbled to 2-5.

Peterson's 14 kills and Sather's 13 paced a torrid Seawolves offense Thursday night in which they hit .380 as a team (48 kills, 10 errors in 100 attacks). Senior Sarah Illingworth was almost perfect on offense, hammering down six kills in just seven attacks at a blistering .857 hitting percentage. Seniors Lindsay Brown, Ali Walker and Rikki Buckshnis each added five kills for Sonoma State in the nightcap.

Brown scattered the ball around, handing out a game-high 33 assists. Sophomore Taylor Krenwinkel and Walker had 18 and 14 digs, respectively, to lead a defense that only allowed the Falcons to hit at a dismal .157 clip.

Seattle Pacific's Sarah Risser had 11 kills to lead the Falcons.

Sonoma State will wrap up its non-conference schedule tomorrow afternoon at the CWU Invitational with a pair of games against Evergreen State (1 p.m.) and No. 21 ranked Western Washington (5 p.m.). The Seawolves will then return home to open up California Collegiate Athletic Association play against Cal State Dominguez Hills on Sept. 10 at The Wolves' Den.
