Box Score CARSON — With a two sets to one lead, the Warriors couldn't hold on and allowed Cal State Dominguez Hills to rally late as they dropped a hard-fought battle in five on Saturday.

Blair Ehrlich had 18 kills and 14 digs and Jocelyn Cervantes had 29 digs in place of the injuried Sarah Crowl to lead the Warriors but Stanislaus dropped its seventh straight and fell to 7-21 overall and 4-16 in league play.

Cal State Dominguez Hills has all of a sudden won three straight to improve to 4-16 in CCAA play. The Toros were in last place at 1-16 on Nov. 9. The Toros are 11-17 overall after Saturday's 21-25, 25-21, 24-26, 25-20, 15-4 win.

Jordan Harris had another nice night with 11 kills and four blocks and Crystal Tillett also picked up 25 digs to help the Warriors. Setter Hannah Green recorded 48 assists.

For Ehrlich it was her highest kill-total match in seven matches and it came at a great time as the Warriors were poised to take this road win. They disposed the Toros 25-21 in the first set before falling in the second.

In the third, Paige Walker's kill tied the score at 24, then a Toro attacking error gave Stanislaus set-point. Walker then ended it with a 26-24 with a service ace.

But Cal State Dominguez Hills won the fourth and dominated the decisive fifth with fith straight points and built a 12-2 lead on Stanislaus attacking errors.

Stanislaus libero Sarah Crowl did not play due to a leg injury. The freshman is leading the CCAA in digs per game and was leading in total digs before the weekend.

Cervantes and Tillett were able to fill in in Crowl's absence, both with career highs in digs.
