SEATTLE (Oct. 13) -- Lesley Kamphouse (Sr., Sumas, Wa./Nooksack Valley) slammed a season-high 17 kills to lead the Seattle Pacific volleyball team to a win over Western Oregon University, 30-18, 21-30, 30-22, 30-27, in a conference matchup Saturday at Brougham Pavilion. The Falcons are currently ranked 5th in the NCAA West Region.

The Falcons (8-3, 15-4) showed tremendous resilience against the Wolves (6-4, 9-8) after Leilani Kamahoahoa (Sr., Oregon City, Or./Canby) was forced to leave midway through the third game after aggravating an injury. SPU finished off the game to go up 2-1 and then overcame a Wolves surge in game four to claim the victory.

Cathleen Price (Fr., Gresham, Or./Sam Barlow) and Leah Wiiest (Sr., Spokane, Wa./Cornell/Deer Park) recorded 16 and 13 kills, respectively, to help lead the winning effort for the Falcons.

Carri Colvin (Jr., Brush Prairie, Wa./Prairie) led five Falcons in double-figure dig totals, finishing with 20. Katy Higgins (So., Kirkland, Wa./Redmond) finished with a team-high 56 assists.

Megan Korne led the Wolves with 13 kills.

SPU travels to Ellensburg next Friday, Oct. 19, to play Central Washington in a GNAC matchup. The match is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.
