Falcons Swept by Red-Hot Alaska-Anchorage
October 26, 2002

ANCHORAGE, AK. (Oct. 26) -- Middle hitter Monica Herrera (Jr., Lima, Peru/Mercy College) hit 14 kills and recorded a .242 attack percentage as the Seattle Pacific University volleyball team fell to Alaska-Anchorage 30- 24, 30-25, 30-25 Saturday night at the UAA Sports Center in Anchorage. Anchorage has now won five of its last six matches and broke a five-match losing streak to SPU dating back to 1997.

The Falcons (5-8, 6-14) fell victim to a surging Seawolves (7-6, 11-10) club that drilled 52 kills and just 17 errors. Carri Colvin (Sr., Vancouver, Wa./Prairie) joined Herrera in double-figures with 12 kills and a .259 attack percentage. Andrea Pennington (Jr., Bellingham, Wa./Whatcom CC) led the Falcons on defense with 12 digs.

SPU closes out this season's home schedule with a pair of matches next week. The Falcons host crosstown rival Seattle U. on Thursday at 7 p.m.
