Clan volleyball splits at Hawaii tourney

SFU women win first two games of the year at Hawaii Invitational last week

Simon Fraser University split four women’s volleyball games at the Hawaii Invitational last week.

The Clan dropped a pair of five-setters last Thursday, but came back the following day, posting its first two wins of the season.

SFU defeated Hawaii Pacific 3-1 in the first game and then beat Humboldt State 15-12 in a tiebreaker in a later five-set match.

Sophomore Christine Howlett, with a match-high 16 kills, and senior Jessica Young secured the win over Hawaii Pacific with back-to-back kills.

Against Humboldt State, SFU took the two opening sets but had to rally in the fifth set, getting the final two kills from Devon May.

“We did a great job of fighting in the close sets today and finding ways to win,” said SFU head coach Gina Schmidt in Clan press release.
