Brooke Valentine Posts Career High, Blues Take Down Pacific In Season Finale

FOREST GROVE, Ore. - Brooke Valentine delivered a career-high 33 digs, Megan Suka and Kenzie Martinez both posted a team-high 13 kills and the Whitman College women's volleyball team concluded the 2022 season with a 21-25, 25-9, 25-20, 25-14 win over Pacific (OR) in Northwest Conference action on Saturday night.

Christina Boxberger impressed in her final match in a Whitman (10-14, 8-8 NWC) uniform, adding a double double with 12 kills, 13 digs, three aces and four blocks. Sydney London and Lilli Thompson shared match-high honors in blocks, both with six.

Mara Murphy led the Boxers (12-10, 8-8 NWC) with a match-high 14 kills, but as a team Pacific committed 13 more errors and were out-blocked 13-4.

The Blues did themselves in after a 7-0 Pacific run that led to a first set win by the Boxers, but the rest of the match belonged to Whitman. The early points of set two told a different story however as Murphy's three kills led to an 8-1 Boxer run to start set two. Pacific continued to lead but the Blues slowly chipped away, eventually cutting the lead to a single point after three straight Martinez aces. The Blues fully grabbed the momentum after an 8-1 run gave them their first lead at 18-16. Martinez later recorded a kill and block in successive points and Whitman pulled away to even the match.

Set three again saw Pacific get out in front early, and again a Whitman team who chipped away at the lead. Murphy drilled kills to make up four of Pacific's first six points and the Boxers built a 12-8 lead. Back-to-back kills from Martinez helped shave the lead to one, and later, Thompson delivered a kill and a block to put Whitman out in front 16-14. Megan Suka later ignited a 5-0 spurt with a pair of kills and the Blues pulled away.

Set four proved to be a formality as Whitman opened the set on a 16-2 and never looked back.
