SACRAMENTO, Ca.-Alison Siegel tied for first on vault and Kristin Strid finished third in the all-around competition as Seattle Pacific University finished second to host Sacramento State 191.375 to 188.250, but ahead of UC Santa Barbara's 187.750 Friday night at Hornet Gym.

The Falcons (3-4) dipped more than three full points lower than last week's 191.475 as just two Falcons earned scores worthy of the podium at meet's end.

In the third rotation, Siegel (Jr., Oakland, Ca./Redwood Christian) posted a 9.675, tying her with Sacramento State's Lara Gould for top honors.

Siegel competed all-around for the first time in 2001 and finished the meet with a 37.175. The returning All-American all-arounder has been slowed as of late by a rotator cuff injury.

Strid (So., Kingsburg, Ca./Joint Union) tumbled off an impressive 9.550 on floor exercise and wound up the meet third in the all-around, posting a 37.550. Siegel was fourth and the Hornets' Toni Peterson won first place honors with a 38.075.

Kim Carey (Sr., Everett, Wa./Mariner) finished tops for the Falcons on floor exercise with a 9.625, the second highest score posted by SPU in the meet, next to Siegel's vault score.

The Falcons tumble against Division I powerhouse Boise State on February 17. Start time is scheduled for 6:00.
