ROHNERT PARK --- The Warriors were so close to a second victory over Sonoma State, but they couldn't close it out in the third game as Sonoma State rallied from behind to beat Cal State Stanislaus in five Saturday night.

Cal State Stanislaus (6-22, 2-14 CCAA) had a 2-0 lead before dropping a thrilling CCAA volleyball match 32-34, 27-30, 35-33, 30-18, 15-9 to the Seawolves (13-12, 9-7 CCAA)
