Colvin Leads Falcons to Sweep over Northwest Nazarene
November 2, 2002

SEATTLE (Nov. 2) -- In the final home match of her collegiate career, Carri Colvin (Sr., Vancouver, Wa./Praire) recorded team-highs of 14 kills, 14 digs and four blocks to lead the Seattle Pacific University volleyball team past Northwest Nazarene University 30- 28, 30-27, 30-24 Saturday night at Brougham Pavilion.

The victory snaps a four-match losing streak for the Falcons (6-9, 7-15) and hands the Crusaders (7-7, 11-10) just their third sweep in conference play this season.

The Falcons never trailed the Crusaders in the first two games and rallied from a seven-point margin in game three to seal the sweep. Colvin recorded a .278 hitting percentage on just four attack errors and added two service aces to her final night at the

pavilion.

Teammates Monica Herrera (Jr., Lima, Peru/Mercy College) and Andra Taylor (Jr., Camas, Wa./Mt. Hood CC) chipped in 13 and 10 kills, respectively. Taylor also hit a team- high 40 percent and her kill total sets a new career high. As a team, SPU hit .204, the first time the team reached the .200 mark in the previous five matches.

Lindsay Miller led the Crusaders with 10 kills while Jaime Butler-Dawson added 13 digs in the losing effort.

SPU's remaining three matches of the season are on the road, beginning next Thursday in Monmouth, Ore., against Western Oregon.
