Box Score

TURLOCK — Lianne Vicchio led the team with 11 kills on her 19th birthday as the Cal State Stanislaus volleyball won its third straight match, this time over Dominican University Wednesday night.

Vicchio, the team's leading attacker, also had 19 digs and three aces. The sophomore from Orangevale was efficient on offense, hitting at a .273 clip with 11 kills on 33 attempts with just two errors.

For the second straight night, Colleen Sullivan racked up the assists with 37 against the Dominican Penguins. Sullivan had 47 Tuesday night against William Jessup, setting a new school record during the 25-point era.

Cal State Stanislaus' balance attack also included nine kills from lefty Jennifer Marsh and seven apiece by Andrea Fett and Janay Bankston. Amanda Pielstick had 18 digs and Megan Britton recorded five of the team's 14 service aces.

Gabby Pecora led Dominican with 10 kills and 17 digs. LaShelle Rullan had 15 digs and setter Brooker Swingle turned in 28 assists and three aces.

It was the second time since Saturday that Stanislaus had beaten Dominican. The Warriors beat the Penguins in four at the Seawolve Spike last weekend.

Stanislaus (4-2) easily handled Dominican in the first set, 25-13, jumping out to an 11-4 lead on many Dominican hitting errors. The Warriors scored seven of the game's final nine points that ended on a Britton ace for the win.

Dominican (1-4) rebounded quickly in the second set behind the play of Lorel Grande who had four of her 9 kills in the second. The Penguins also took advantage of Stanislaus hitting errors to even up the match.

Just like Tuesday night, the Warriors didn't let-up and fought off Dominican in the third with a 27-25 win after holding off two Penguin set-points. Bankston hit a nice net-shot and Lauren Charles ended the set with one of her two aces to lead CSUS.

Stanislaus then wrapped up the match with a 25-16 win in the fourth after rolling off to another 11-4 lead. Vicchio had five of her 11 kills during the fourth.

The Warriors will go for their fourth in-a-row on Friday when they host Bethany College at 6 p.m.
