(UCSD Sports Information)

LA JOLLA, Calif. -- Caylie Seitz continued to dominate opposing defenses Saturday night, smashing a match-best 19 kills to lead the Sonoma State volleyball team to a 3-0 sweep (32-30, 25-18, 25-15) of host UC San Diego at RIMAC Arena in La Jolla.  The Seawolves (16-5) remain in first place in the CCAA standings at 14-3, one game ahead of second place Cal State San Bernardino (13-4) with five matches to play in the regular season.  The Tritons suffered their third straight loss, falling to 12-9 overall and 10-7 in conference play.

Sonoma State used a solid offense and strong serving to earn the victory. The Seawolves hit .241 with 50 kills and 16 errors in 141 attempts. They also aced their opponent nine times on the night.

UC San Diego hit .176 with 40 kills and 18 errors in 125 attacks. The Tritons led in digs (63-60) and blocks (9-8).

SSU held a 64 to 50 advantage in sideout percentage.

UCSD led 4-0 to start the match. The Tritons had four set points, the final one coming at 29-28. Sonoma State scored two of the next three points and the score was even at 30-30. A kill by Madelyn Densberger and a block by Seitz gave the set to the Seawolves.

SSU led from first serve to last in sets two and three. The Seawolves scored the first three points of the second frame and led 5-0 in the last set.

Seitz led all players with 19 kills, while Kelsey Hull added 11. Kaitlyn Connolly posted a match-high 18 digs.  Rachel Andrews assisted on four blocks at the net.  Calan Seitz handed out 29 assists and recorded three service aces.

For the Tritons, Amanda Colla had a double-double with 10 kills and 10 digs. Heidi Sierks did as well, recording 24 assists and 15 digs. Caitlin Brenton had 11 kills and Alyssa McNeely had seven blocks.

Sonoma swept the season series as it defeated UCSD, 3-1, on Sept. 26 in Rohnert Park.
