Eagles Sweep Lions in Straight Sets

Box Score KIRKLAND, Wash. - The NU Eagles swept Multnomah 3-0 (25-8, 25-9, 25-13) in Cascade Conference play tonight to improve to 18-9 overall and 13-6 in CCC play. Multnomah drops to 3-20 and 0-19 in the CCC. The match took just 1 hour and 5 minutes to play.

Mattie Jo Johnson and Amanda Waterman teamed up for 12 kills each with Johnson hitting ,857 and Waterman .500 for the match. Morgan Pilon led both teams with 30 assists and Emmaline Stockton had a team high 14 digs. NU hit .413 as a team.
 
Multnomah was led by Miranda Halverson's 6 kills with teammate Kiana Miller finishing with a match high 16 digs. Marissa Rhodes led MU with 10 assists. The Northwest U defense held the Lions to just .024 hitting as a team.

Said NU Coach Steve Bain following the match, "I was very impressed with our approach tonight against an improved Multnomah squad. We knew they would play hard so our team made a commitment to each other to play with energy and focus from start to finish and they followed through. The match really turned on our serving, which put pressure on their serve receive and kept them out of system. Our offense was then able to capitalize and we were very good in serve-receive and transition. We are now looking forward to tomorrow and another opportunity to compete against a quality opponent."

Northwest U remains at home and will host their final regular season match tomorrow night with Warner Pacific coming to Kirkland. A win by the Eagles will clinch a first round home match in the CCC Championships which begin Tuesday. Tomorrow night is also Senior Night for Christina Gleb and Lauren Bongiorno. They will be honored in a pre-game ceremony.
