SFU setter Brooklyn Gould-Bradbury fed her attack line all evening, finishing with 61 assists. Alanna Chan posted a team-high 25 digs.
"This is definitely a huge high. I thought Maddy (Hait) had a great game tonight," Robinson in a press release. "It's great to be able to have those kills spread out. It makes it a lot harder for the blockers on the other side."
SFU forced the tiebreaker with a 30-28 win in the fourth set.
On Saturday, SFU fell 3-1 to Northwest Nazarene at home.
The Clan took the opening set 25-22, but dropped the next three 25-19, 25-15 nad 25-18.
