Women's Volleyball Concludes Tourney With Loss To Martin Luther

SAINT PAUL, Minn. - Brooke Valentine delivered a season-high 20 digs, Christina Boxberger posted 11 kills and 12 digs for a double double, but the Whitman College women's volleyball team came up short in its final match of the St. Paul Tournament, a 12-25, 27-25, 25-21, 25-21 loss to Martin Luther College.

Megan Suka added nine kills for the Blues (2-7) who came out like gangbusters and won a lopsided first set. A pair of aces from Jackie Zapanta and kills from Emma Anderson and Tate Cadang helped Whitman establish a 16-8 lead. A pair of Suka kills extended the advantage to 22-12 and the Blues won going away.

Whitman had an excellent shot at taking a two-set lead but came up just short in set two which went to extra points. The Blues held a 9-6 lead before three straight Martin Luther points tied the score. Neither team gave an inch until the Blues earned a small cushion after both Dominitz and Boxberger got in on a block for a 22-20 lead. Boxberger later gave her team set point at 25-24, but the Knights responded with three straight points, two coming via kills from Kelsey Birschbach, to tie the match.

Whitman competed well in the final two sets with both featuring tight battles late in the frames. Ultimately it would be Martin Luther who pulled away and claimed the four-set win.

With their non-conference schedule behind them, the Blues serve up Northwest Conference play this Friday, Sept. 17 with a home match vs. Pacific. Start time at the Sherwood Center is set for 7:00 p.m.
