FOLSOM, Calif. – Saint Mary's notched their ninth-straight victory and sixth sweep on Saturday, defeating Sacramento State by the score of 5-0.
Nearly all of the Gaels' points were won in straight sets with only pair No. 3 going into a third set. Sienna Young and Alexsa "Crash" Parker took the first set 21-13 and narrowly lost the second (23-21). However, they rallied in the third and finished with a 15-6 score. All other SMC pairs were dominant as Lindsey Knudsen and Sarah Chase (21-10, 21-12), Emily Bible and Lindsey Calvin (21-14, 21-14), Jennifer "Boo" Laird and Morgan Kendrick (24-22, 21-11), and Chandler Cowell and Selbie Christensen (21-13, 21-9) each finished in two sets.
QUOTABLE
"Today our team continued our work at getting better with every dual," said Gary Hodge. "We've been working on a more focused and aggressive service game and today it showed. We continue to be led by our fearsome foursome of seniors: Knudsen, Chase, Bible, and Calvin have been winning in the sand for years and have set the tone for one of the deepest and most talented lineups to ever represent Saint Mary's beach volleyball."
The Gaels will next compete on Wednesday, March 2 at Pacific at 4:00 p.m.
