Anchorage, Alaska (Sept. 28) -- Cathleen Price (Fr., Gresham, Or./Sam Barlow) recorded a career-high 23 kills and Carrie Colvin (Jr., Vancouver, Wa./Prairie) finished with a career-high 24 digs to lead the Falcons past the University of Alaska-Anchorage, 30-24, 28-30, 30-28, 33-31, in a conference matchup Friday night at the UAA Sports Center.

Price's 23 kills and Colvin's 24 digs are the most for any Falcon player this season in both categories.

Leah Wiiest (Sr., Spokane, Wa./Deer Park/Cornell) finished with 20 kills and 11 digs; Price added 11 digs to her 23 kills; Monica Abrahamson (Sr., Spokane, Wa./Rogers) recorded 12 kills and 17 digs; Colvin added 12 kills to her 24 digs.

Price and Wiiest led the Falcons with outstanding hitting percentages, finishing at .432 and .356, respectively. Price also led the Falcons in service aces with five while setter Katy Higgins (So., Kirkland, Wa./Redmond) led the team in assists with 61.
