October 11, 2007 Lacey, WA – Saint Martin’s battled through a four game set with Seattle University but came out on the losing end as the Redhawks took the match 3-1, 19-30, 29-31, 30-27, 19-30, Thursday night at the SMU Pavilion. Game one was all Redhawks as they jumped out to an early lead which they would never surrender. They built a solid five point led that the Saints were never able to lessen. The Redhawks posted a .326 hitting percentage in the game. The second game was a fight to the very end as the Redhawks mounted an eight point rally to tie the game at 24-24. Every time one team scored the other quickly answered with a point of their own. With the score 29-29 Seattle got a kill from Nikole Thompson and was able to capitalize on a Saint attack error for game point. Saint Martin’s took control early in game three scoring the first point and never looked back. The Saints led from beginning to end and boasted as much as a ten point lead. SU was able to make a late surge pulling within two but a kill by Angela Smith put the game away for the Saints. Things stayed close to start off game four until Seattle put together a 12-3 run to pull ahead 21-12. Another five point run later in the game was too much for the Saints to overcome as the Redhawks took the game and the match. Kirstyn Druzianich led the Saints with 14 kills and 20 digs on the night and posted a .407 hitting percentage. Andrea Tarbet and Shealun Campisi each had 13 kills while Campisi added 16 digs and Tarbet tallied 11. Kimber Simonetti and Malia Ibarra recorded 18 and 15 respectively. The Saints are at home again this Saturday as they face the Montana State Billings Yellowjackets.
