Falcons Rally to Beat Central, Remain Unbeaten at Home
October 3, 2003

October 3 (Seattle) -- Chelsey Myers' (So., Minden, Nv./Douglas) school-record-tying 30 kills led a Seattle Pacific University rally from a 1-2 game deficit and an 11-12 gap in game five to beat Central Washington University 24-30, 30-28, 28-30, 30-18, 15-12 Friday night at Brougham Pavilion in a Great Northwest Athletic Conference matchup.

With the win over the Wildcats (4-3, 5-1), the Falcons (3-4, 10-4) remain unbeaten at home this season in six tries.

Kathleen Monda (Jr., Woodinville, Wa/Whatcom CC) scored the final three points for the Falcons in game five. She broke a 12-12 stalemate with a kill down the line and followed it up with a service ace that found a hole after hitting the net to reach match point. Monday then finished the match with a kill from the right side that struck hardwood after hitting the Wildcats defenders.

Jessica Bauder (Jr., Richland, Wa./Col. Basin CC) recorded 20 kills for the Falcons and tacked on four aces with a powerful jump serve. Katy Higgins (Sr., Kirkland, Wa./Redmond) recorded 47 assists.

Andrea Pennington (Sr., Bellingham, Wa./Whatcom Cc) led the Falcons from the back line with 24 digs. Also on defense, Andra Taylor (Sr., Camas, Wa./Mt. Hood CC) shined for SPU with six blocks, including four unassisted.

Myers' 30 kills ties the record set last year by Monica Herrera.

Leanne McGauhey led the Wildcats with 21 kills and a remarkable .425 hitting percentage. As a team, the Wildcats recorded 84 digs.

The Falcons are back in action tomorrow night at Brougham Pavilion. The match begins at 7 p.m.
