Oakland, Calif. - #14 Fresno Pacific swept Holy Names for the third time this season to improve to 17-1, 9-0 in PacWest play. The Sunbirds (17-1, 9-0 PacWest) rebounded from a lackluster performance in their last match, a five-set win over Academy of Art, to defeat the Hawks 25-22, 25-18, 25-22.

The Hawks had a three-match win streak snapped and fell to 10-11 overall, 7-3 in PacWest play.

"The girls came out really focused tonight," said head coach Kelly Winter. "There's a lot of things we've been working on since last week's match with Academy of Art and it was good to see the girls start to implement those things. We sided-out really well, didn't get stuck in rotation and when we had opportunities to score we capitalized."

FPU held the Hawks to just .058 hitting on the night as Carroll led the defense with Hannah Butler contributing 14 digs as well.

"Emily was all over the court tonight," said Winter. "She was moving well and reading the ball very well."
