Volleyball: Saints down Seawolves for first win

October 7, 2007

Anchorage, AK – Saint Martin’s used a balanced attack to sweep Alaska Anchorage 30-27, 30-17, 30-21, Saturday at the Wells Fargo Sports Complex.

The two teams battled back and forth in game one with the score tied a total of 20 times throughout, the last time at 27-27. Consecutive kills by Andrea Tarbet, Kristin Anderson and Kirstyn Druzianich gave the Saints the win.

Game two was all Saints as they pulled out to a 14-7 lead followed by a 7-2 run that put them up 21-9. There was nothing the Seawolves could do as the Saints scored five of the last eight points to roll to the easy victory.

The score was close through most of game three until up by two with the score 15-13, the Saints went on a six point run to pull ahead 21-13. The deficit was too much for the Seawolves to overcome giving the Saints the game and the match.

Shealun Campisi led the Saints with 15 kills and eight digs on the night posting a .286 hitting percentage. As a team the Saints hit .270 while holding the Seawolves to just .142. Tarbet had 12 kills for the Saints while Malia Ibarra added 11 digs. Druzianich posted a team high four blocks.

The win ended a 29-match losing streak for the Saints. It was their first win since September 21, 2006 when they beat the Seawolves by the same score.

The Saints are back home this week to take on Seattle University Thursday night at the SMU Pavilion.
