The Humboldt State University Lumberjacks' volleyball team improved their overall record to 5-5 after defeating the Cal State Stanislaus Warriors 3-1 Saturday night in the East Gym.
A crowd of roughly 200 screaming and chanting fans looked on as the 'Jacks took the first game 30-24. The second game didn't go as well with Humboldt State losing 28-30.
Junior outside hitter Mallory Briney said, "I felt like we lost momentum and at the end and they got a couple of runs on us."
"The talk downstairs got our momentum back," said Briney in reference to the break following the second match.
The rest allowed them to sweep the next two games of the night 30-23 and 30-14.
The third and fourth games were both dominated by digs and hustle from the back of the court and persistent blocks from the front court defense.
All over the court was outside hitter Olivia Solomon. She leads the 'Jacks in double digits with 16 kills and 16 digs.
When asked what her strategy for the game was, Solomon said it was to just relax.
"I was really tense the last couple of games," Solomon said, adding that she decided to relax and have fun.
This was a well-fought victory that the entire 'Jacks squad took part in.
Defensive specialist Kelly Catherina added 32 digs to the help the team to victory as did outside hitter Katie Norkunas, adding 15 kills and 19 digs.
The 'Jacks had support on and off the court. "I thought that we did really good," said freshman setter Joliann Arzadon. She and he rest of the team cheered her team on from the sidelines.
Junior setter Liz Shannon did a fantastic job Saturday night getting a total of 53 sets to her teammates, helping lead the team to victory.
With this victory under their belt, the 'Jacks now prepare for their next game which will take place Sept. 14 at 7 p.m. in the East Gym as they host the Cal State San Bernardino Coyotes.
