Blues Dominate Linfield For Second Straight Sweep

WALLA WALLA, Wash. - Nicole Kelly posted a team-high 10 kills, Kenzie Martinez nearly recorded a double double with eight kills and a match-high 10 digs and the Whitman College women's volleyball team swept its second straight opponent with a 25-20, 25-16, 25-22 win over Linfield on Saturday night.

Christina Boxberger put her stamp on the match as well with nine kills and four blocks. Sydney London also contributed to a dominant Whitman performance at the net in posting a match-high five blocks.

Raelynn Hammock led the Wildcats with 14 kills and 10 digs.

Set one saw the Blues (6-15, 4-8 NWC) hold a steady lead for most of the duration. Kills from Martinez and Kelly, coupled with a double block from Boxberger and Sophia Domintz helped Whitman take a 12-8 lead.

A Boxberger solo block later extended the advantage to four points but Linfield came roaring back to tie the score at 20-20. Whitman, bookended by kills from Boxberger in a 5-0 run, closed the set to take the early lead in the match.

The Blues controlled set two from start to finish, taking advantage of several Wildcat miscues to go up by five points midway through. A London block later extended the lead to 19-13 as Whitman continued to lead comfortably. Hammock delivered a kill to make it a 20-16 score, but the Blues again closed the set with five straight points to win going away.

Whitman trailed early in set three but reeled off nine straight points to take a 15-8 lead. Linfield threatened late and cut the lead to two points, but the sweep was inevitable as kills from Kelly and London sealed the win.

The Blues hit the road one more time this season, first squaring off at Pacific Lutheran on Friday, Oct. 29 at 7:00 p.m.
