All times local to site BOLD = Home matches at Connolly Center MORE BIG SKY ACTION: Monday s sweep of Eastern Washington started a stretch in which Seattle U will face four Big Sky schools in the next five matches. That continues Thursday with a road contest at Portland State, followed by a home match against Idaho State Saturday night. Several Redhawk players are close to either reaching major milestones (Cristin Richards needs five kills to reach 1,000 for her career) or moving up the Redhawk all-time lists (Emily Deleissegues in digs, four different players in blocks). LAST WEEK: In an exhibition match against Canadian school Trinity Western, Seattle U won the first set but was sluggish the rest of the way, losing to the Spartans in four sets (20-25, 25-21, 26-24, 25-19). Sarah Jaeckel led the team with 17 kills, with Julia Bonadio earning 10 kills and a.500 hitting percentage. Sarah Lewicki was the setter for the first three sets, earning 32 assists. A more focused Redhawk team took the Reese Court floor Monday night and swept Eastern Washington (25-19, 25-20, 25-12), sweeping the season series from the Eagles. Cristin Richards finished with 19 kills and only one attack error in 40 attempts for a career-high.450 hitting percentage, plus she earned eight digs and three block assists. Jordan Keller contributed five kills and a match-high eight total blocks, while Emily Deleissegues led the back line with ten defensive digs. Setter Jamie Mellies ran a solid offense, collecting 31 assists along with two service aces and four digs. MAKING HISTORY: During Seattle U s 3-2 victory over the Portland Pilots on Sept. 21, two Redhawk players notched single-match totals that few players before them had reached. Junior Cristin Richards finished with 27 kills, the third-most kills in a match for Seattle University and the most since Nikole Thompson earned 29 kills against Western Oregon on Sept. 13, At the net, junior Jordan Keller earned one solo block and nine block assists for ten total blocks. The nine block assists tied for the second-most in a match by a Seattle U player, as did the ten total blocks. Only Emily Powell s 12 blocks against Alaska-Fairbanks on Sept. 22, 2007, topped Keller s rejection rate. With 309 kills so far this season, Richards is five kills away from entering the top ten list for most kills in a single season, while Keller, with 87 total blocks, is on pace to break the single-season blocks record of 107.
