11/2/2018 10:22:00 PM | Women's Volleyball
NORTHRIDGE, Calif. - Freshman Nicole Nevarez led CSUN with 10 kills but the Matadors dropped a straight-set decision to Hawai'i on senior night Friday at The Matadome.
The 25-23, 25-19, 25-20 loss drops the Matadors who improve to 7-18 overall and 3-10 in the Big West. The visiting Rainbow Wahine improve to 15-7 overall and 11-2 in conference play.
KEY STATISTICS
• Nevarez hit .444 on 18 swings while also adding three digs and a pair of assists. Junior Morgan Salone added eight kills (.400), two blocks and two digs.
• In her final home match, senior Aeryn Owens had six kills (.069), three digs and two blocks.Â
• Junior setter Kamalu Makekau-Whittaker registered 16 assists and six digs while senior Erin Indermill added 13 assists, four digs and two kills in her home finale.
• Also playing her final Matadome match was Kristey Markle who had a team-high seven kills to go with three assists.
• The Matadors also honored Nada Dragovic and Cassidy Rosso in a post-match ceremony.
• The two teams were comparable in hitting as Hawai'i hit .260 to CSUN's .224.
• Senior McKenna Granato was one of two Rainbow Wahine hitters in double figures with a team-high 12 kills (.500).
COACH JEFF STORKÂ SAID
"It's disappointing that we couldn't send our five great seniors out with a win but it doesn't take anything away from who they are as people and what they are as student-athletes. It's an emotional night and we had a lot of alumni and community come out to send these players off. Tonight had a lot to do with who was going to point-score enough. We kept our errors down but we couldn't produce enough points."Â
SET 1
The Matadors never held a lead in the opening set as UH never trailed in the first set as the visitors used a 5-0 run to open up an 18-13 lead. Hawai'i maintained a five-point cushion at 23-18 before CSUN rallied behind a 5-2 run to trim the lead but the Rainbow Wahine held on for the 25-23 win.
SET 2
Hawai'i bolted out to a 4-0 lead before an ensuing 5-1 run by the Matadors tied the set 5-5. The set would be tied three more times, the last coming at 8-8, when the visitors put together a 3-0 run to open up an 11-8 lead. The 'Bows led by as many as six points late and ended the frame at 25-19 to take a 2-0 lead in the match.
SET 3
CSUN held a pair of three-point leads in the final set, the last at 11-8 before a 6-0 Rainbow Wahine run went on a 6-to-0 run open up a 14-11 lead. Hawai'i never relinquished the lead the rest of the way as they completed the sweep with a 25-20 win.
UP NEXT
The Matadors conclude the 2018Â the season with three straight road matches, beginning next Friday (Nov. 9) at Cal State Fullerton.
