Falcons Rally Past Saint Martin's, Win Seventh Straight Volleyball Match at Home
October 4, 2003

(Seattle) -- For the second straight night, the Seattle Pacific University volleyball team rallied from a 2-1 game deficit, as the Falcons (4-4, 11-4 GNAC) ousted Saint Martin's College in a GNAC match at Brougham Pavilion.

The Falcons remain undefeated at home this season in seven matches.

In the decisive fifth game, the Falcons (4-4, 11-4) rattled off five straight points over the Saints (0-7, 5-13) to break a 10-10 tie and seal the match. Last night, the Falcons followed a similar pattern of losing games one and three before winning the final two and the match.

Jessica Bauder (Jr., Richland, Wa./Col. Basin CC) recorded 15 kills for the Falcons while Katie Ralph (So., South Kitsap/E. Tenn St.) also earned double-figures in successful attacks with 10. Myers led the offense, however, for the second straight night and did so with an efficient attack of .394 percent.

Defensively, Andrea Pennington (Sr., Bellingham, Wa./Whatcom CC) once again led the back row with 24 digs. Ralph, the team's leading blocker, came through again by stumping the Saints attack with four blocks.

Emily Wofford led the Saints with 17 kills.

The Falcons play at sixth-ranked Western Washington next Saturday, Oct. 11.
