"We withstood each of their runs and took control of each set, and our setters did a nice job of spreading the ball to different hitters."UAA got three kills and a pair of solo blocks, including on set point, from senior Bella Burney as it took control with a dominant opening frame.Leading just 16-15 in the second, Riba blasted two kills in a three-rally span to help the Seawolves pulled away late. The Barcelona native had three kills on three swings and a block assist in that set, finishing with .667 hitting (6-0-9).HPU claimed a 10-9 edge in the third before UAA responded for the sweep, getting a combined eight kills from Gabriel and Ivakina, and seven digs from Gabriel in the frame.UAA's setting duo of Hannah Trotter and Anna McWhorter combined for 31 assists, while McWhorter earned her first career kill.Sophomore libero Mary Nahinu finished with six digs and a match-high three aces, and freshman middle blocker Patri Ferran notched her first two career kills as well.Burney and junior rightside hitter Emma Beck finished with five kills apiece.The Seawolves conclude the tournament tomorrow, facing off against either Chaminade or Hawaii Hilo at noon or 3 p.m. ADT.
