SAN RAFAEL, Calif. — The BYU-Hawaii Seasiders handed the Dominican University of California women's volleyball team its fourth straight Pacific Weset Conference loss on Wednesday night, with scores of 25-21, 27-25, and 25-20.

The Lady Penguins (3-12/0-4) played the Seasiders (5-8/2-2) close but could never get past the hurdle. Game one was close but went to BYU-Hawaii when Kylee Nawahine placed an ace just in front of Dominican libero LaShelle Rullan.

Dominican seemed in control in game two, leading all the way to 18-16 until a four-point run by the Seasiders put the Lady Penguins behind 20-18. The match tied at 21, 23, and 25 but set two went to BYU-H after two Gabby Pecora attack errors.

Dominican fell behind early in set three, trailing 7-3, and pulled within a point at 11-10 but the Seasiders used a four-point run to vault ahead 15-10. BYU-H finished the match with two straight kills to win the game and the match.

Tianna Tuatagaloa led the Lady Penguins with 14 kills and two service aces. Pecora added 11 kills and a team-high 17 digs.  Lorel Grande rounded out the scoring with six kills. Rullan had 11 digs for the Lady Penguins.
