El Cajon, CA-- The San Diego Christian College volleyball team hosted cross-town foe Point Loma Nazarene University in their home finale Tuesday night, falling in four games 23-25, 25-11, 25-14, 25-10. The night saw the Lady Hawks honor seniors Jessica Brazynetz (pictured left) and Lauren Howard, both playing in their final home match. 

The first game saw the Lady Hawks use the emotion of senior night to jump up quickly. Both teams exchanged points for the entire game, with the largest lead coming from PLNU at 16-13. SDCC quickly responded with three straight points to knot the game at 16. Both teams continued to exchange points and the Hawks took the lead 23-22 on an Aja Walker kill. PLNU tied it at 23-23, but Walker and Mariah Boelk combined to block a Sea Lion attack to take a 24-23 lead. SDCC then took the game on an attack error by PLNU. 

The momentum did not last long, however, as the Sea Lions quickly jumped up on the Hawks 9-2 in the second game. PLNU did not let up and took the game 25-11.  

PLNU used a strong attack in games three and four as well in route to 25-14 and 25-10 wins. PLNU hit .417 for the match and .529 in game four.  

For the match, SDCC was led by Howard’s 10 kills. Chelsea Rose added 14 assists and Stephanie Rice had 12 digs.  

SDCC finishes their season on Saturday at Fresno Pacific at 3:00pm.
