Seattle Volleyball Squad Sweeps Hawaii Pacific, 3-0, In Home Opener
SEATTLE, Wash. – Haley Bury (Roy, Wash.) picked up 13 kills without making an attack error and setter Tori Ross (Shoreline, Wash.) earned 37 assists and four service aces to lead the Seattle University volleyball team to a sweep over Hawaii Pacific, 30-26, 30-19, and 30-24, Tuesday evening at the Connolly Center.
The Redhawks jumped out to an 8-2 lead in game one thanks in part to two service aces from Nikole Thompson (Marysville, Wash.).

A service error by Hawaii Pacific closed out the first game in Seattle’s favor.
Seattle clicked on all cylinders in the second game, as the Redhawks earned 15 kills and three team blocks while making only three attack errors. Bury was successful on seven of her eight kill attempts in the second game, while Thompson picked up four kills and Ross contributed 13 assists and two service aces in the second game alone. Meanwhile, Hawaii Pacific was forced into 11 attack errors while earning only nine kills for a -.044 hitting percentage.
After the intermission, Seattle put the match away by opening up a 20-8 lead, taking advantage of ten attack errors by the Sea Warriors in the third game. With the score 29-19, Hawaii Pacific saved five match points before Thompson finally put the match away with a kill to give the Redhawks their fourth victory in six matches.
Bury finished the match with a .433 hitting percentage, while Thompson contributed nine kills, two service aces, and eight digs. Senior Melissa Mulick (Gaston, Ore.) again led the defense with 21 defensive digs, with Jenny Burrows (Reno, Nev.) picking up four kills and three blocks, Josie Christiansen (Coquille, Ore.) earning four kills and two blocks, and Libby Graff (Beaverton, Ore.) adding five kills and two blocks to the winning effort.
Hawaii Pacific (1-5) was led by Barbara Martin, who compiled 13 kills and 19 digs in the match. Setter Antje Buskies picked up 25 assists, while libero Melissa Sekigawa earned 11 digs from the back row. As a team, the Sea Warriors hit at a .065 hitting percentage and did not pick up a single block in the entire match.
Seattle University (4-2) turns right around for an afternoon match against Hawaii-Hilo tomorrow, Wednesday, August 30, at 1 p.m. at the Connolly Center before heading to Colorado for the weekend to participate in the Colorado School of Mines tournament.
