Dakota Adams with one of her 13 kills for the match
Box Score KIRKLAND, Wash. - Dakota Adams' 13 kills helped lead Northwest University to a straight set, 3-0 (25-16, 25-18, 25-19), Cascade Conference victory over Oregon Tech tonight to improve to 3-0 in league play. OIT dropped to 2-1 in CCC play.
 
Northwest U would break a 5-5 tie with a 6-1 run capped off by a Leia Roy service ace to lead 11-6. OIT would cut the lead to12-9, but three straight Eagles kills would increase the NU lead to 15-9 and the Eagles would maintain the lead for the set win.
 
Whitney Webster's kill in the second set would give Oregon Tech an early, 6-3, lead, but NU would strong and overtake the Owls as Dakota Adams' kill would give the lead back to the Eagles, 10-9. OIT would battle back and force three ties, but kills by Amanda Waterman and Hannah Hanson would give NU the lead for good as another Adams' kill would seal the win for the Eagles.
 
Oregon Tech was determined to force a fourth set leading again early 11-9 after a kill by Kristin Depaoli. The turning point would come with the score tied at 16-16 as OIT would commit two errors and Dakota Adams' kill would give NU the lead for good at 19-16. Two straight service aces by sophomore Alysanne Van Dyke would end the set and the match—25-19, Northwest U.
 
Amanda Waterman also contributed 10 kills and 11 digs for Northwest U (7-2, 3-0 CCC) for a double-double. Morgan Pilon had a match high 33 assists and freshman Emmaline Stockton led with a match high 17 digs. NU hit .276 as a team led by Hannah Hanson's .600 average with 7 kills.
 
Oregon Tech (7-2, 2-1 CCC) was led by Bailey Nelson's 8 kills and she added 7 digs. Tori Porter had 13 assists and teammate Waverly Green added 12 assists for the Owls. Porter also had 13 digs for a double-double. OIT was held to a .157 hitting percentage as a team.

"The team was really focused this evening from the pregame message by Leia Roy to the final points by Alysanne Van Dyke," commented Steve Bain, NU head coach. "Oregon Tech surprised us a little with a different offensive scheme than we had seen on tape but we adjusted well and played tenaciously on defense.  I think one of the other factors was our ability to serve tough and keep them out of rhythm and it was nice to see all of our servers scoring points.  Offensively, we were balanced at the pins and Hannah Hanson had a great effort in the middle."

Northwest U remains at home and will host No. 9 Southern Oregon tomorrow night while Oregon Travels to Olympia to face the Evergreen State College.
