Three Penguins in double digit kills for back-to-back victories

SAN RAFAEL, Calif. — The Dominican University of California women's volleyball recorded back-to-back victories with a 3-1 (19-25, 25-21, 25-14, 25-12) victory over Notre Dame de Namur in the Conlan Center on Saturday afternoon.

The Penguins (8-16/5-13 PacWest) avenged an earlier season loss to the Argonauts (11-18/7-13 PacWest) but looked in trouble of losing back-to-back matches to the Argos after dropping set one. Dominican came out swinging in set two and outscored the Argos 9-3 down the stretch en route to a .342 hitting percentage. The Penguins put on an even more impressive show of offense in set four, where they swung their way to a .423 hitting percentage. Three Penguins ended up in double digit kills, led by 16 from sophomore Aimee Steinwand. Freshman Brittany Latigue added 15 and sophomore Shannon RiggioKerley added a dozen. Junior Hannah Smith ran an efficient offense and distributed 51 assists. Junior libero Amanda Lee led all players with 21 digs and had a career-high four service aces. Steinwand had a double-double with 15 digs, and junior Madeline Powelson added 14 digs.

NDNU was led by 16 kills from Bianca Alvarez and 17 digs from libero Carina Quintero.

Dominican also topped Azusa Pacific 3-1 earlier in the week and will look to make it three consecutive victories on Wed. Nov. 18. Dominican will honor senior Amanda Wasko in a pregame ceremony on Senior Night. First serve is slated for 7 p.m. Live stats and video will be available at dominicanathletics.com/live with live audio provided by radio.dominican.edu.
