PARKLAND, Wash. — Addie Belt recorded 14 kills and 18 digs, but the Whitman College women's volleyball team fell to Pacific Lutheran University 25-23, 25-15, 22-25, 25-19 on Saturday night at Olson Auditorium.

Belt led the Blues (7-7, 5-3) in both kills and digs, while Haylee Pruse finished with 19 assists, 17 digs and two service aces. Sammy Holmer added five kills, 12 digs, four aces and five block assists, and Lexie Uchima contributed 15 digs.

Shaela Allen-Greggs paced Pacific Lutheran (14-3, 7-1) with 14 kills and a .353 hitting percentage. Julissa Pernsteiner added 13 kills, Mary Magoun had 12 and Alexis Eggert finished with 10. Ayre Takamoto distributed 44 assists, and Macy Matsushima collected a match-high 28 digs.

Whitman opened the first set with an 8-1 lead, fueled by two Holmer aces and another from Sophie Broesamle. Pacific Lutheran rallied to take a 15-14 advantage, but the Blues later regained the lead at 22-21 following consecutive kills by Belt and Holmer. The Lutes answered with three straight points and held on to take the opener.

Pacific Lutheran's offense took control in the second set, producing 17 kills against one error for a .457 hitting percentage. Magoun and Allen-Greggs each tallied six kills, while Je T'aime Paio delivered four of the Lutes' five aces in the set. Whitman hit .324 with just one attack error, but Pacific Lutheran pulled away for a two-set lead.

The Blues mounted their strongest comeback in the third set, overcoming deficits of 8-1 and 15-8 to extend the match. Pruse served four consecutive points to trim the latter margin to 15-13, and Whitman later erased a 20-17 deficit with four straight points, including three consecutive blocks by Rowyn Lee and Holmer. With the score tied at 22, the Blues won the final three points on a Pacific Lutheran attack error, a Pruse ace and a Holmer kill.

Whitman rallied again in the fourth, recovering from an 11-5 deficit to tie the score at 14 on a Pacific Lutheran attack error. The Lutes responded with four straight points and maintained the lead the rest of the way. Allen-Greggs recorded four kills without an error in the final set, including the match-clinching kill.

Lee finished with five kills and no attack errors on 17 swings for Whitman, adding three block assists. Both teams totaled 81 digs and six blocks, but Pacific Lutheran held advantages in kills, 53-40, and service aces, 13-9.
