Blues Falter In Final Match Of Puget Sound Premiere

TACOMA, Wash. - The Whitman College women's volleyball team hoped to exit the Puget Sound Premiere on a high note, but that wasn't in the cards as the Blues lost their fourth match of the weekend in a 25-23, 25-22, 25-18 loss to St. Thomas (TX) on Saturday afternoon.

Megan Suka led the way for the Blues (1-4) with a match-high 10 kills, impressively recording only one error and hitting at a .600 clip. Brooke Valentine chipped in a match-high 11 digs with Sydney London adding three blocks and five kills.

The Blues were no match at the net for the Celts (2-1) who recorded 22 total blocks led by Paige Havel's nine stuffs. Havel also added a team-high nine kills.

The opening set was as tight as could be. After UST tied the game at 9-9, neither team led by more than a point until a Havel block and a Laynee Beam kill sealed the win for the Celts. London's ace and Nicole Kelly's kill put the Blues up 22-21, but UST won four of the final five points to take the one-set lead.

Set two saw the Blues fall behind 13-9 after back-to-back kills from Alyssa Ajlouny. Whitman caught up and trailed by a single point on numerous occasions, the last after a Sophia Dominitz kill put the score at 19-18. Down the stretch though it was Havel delivering three kills and getting in on a block to give her team a commanding two-set lead.

Whitman never threatened in the third and final set, trailing by as many as 10 points and watching the Celts complete the sweep.

The Blues return to the road next weekend for the St. Paul Tournament in St. Paul, Minn. Whitman will play four matches in two days beginning with host Hamline University on Friday, Sept. 10 at 5:00 p.m.
