TURLOCK — Six seniors were honored Saturday before the Stanislaus State volleyball team's match against Humboldt State, and all six lent a hand in the Warriors' dominant 3-0 (25-20, 25-16, 25-18) California Collegiate Athletic Association sweep of the Lumberjacks.
 
Chelsey Berry, Kiara Erving, Angel Lambert, Mya Marshall, Yisel Perez and Ambria Schneringer were all honored in a pregame ceremony, as they played the final regular season home match of their collegiate careers at Fitzpatrick Arena. All six saw time in the match in front of a raucus crowd.
 
Perez had a strong all-around performance in her final home game, notching nine kills with a .304 hitting percentage, 14 digs, an ace and an assist. Lambert had three kills with no attack errors on four attempts for a .750 hitting percentage, and that accompanied six digs, a block, an ace and a dig as well. Erving tallied seven kills with three blocks and two digs. Ambria Schneringer hit .444 with four kills and also had 11 assists, a block and a dig. Even Marshall and Berry – who have been sidelined with injuries – saw game action, starting sets one and three, respectively, at the serve before being subbed out. Berry even collected a dig, the 670th of her career.
 
"These girls played great tonight," said Stanislaus State interim head coach Maci Murdock. "They had heart and fought as a team! We passed very well tonight and it helped with being able to run our offense. I thought Yisel did very well for us offensively. She was aggressive and smart with her swings. Great win for our seniors tonight!"
 
All three sets stayed very close through the first 20 points until the Warriors pulled away each time. The first set was tied 11-11 with neither team ever leading by more than two. Stan State finally put together an 11-3 run to go up 21-14. Humboldt State (3-16, 2-14 CCAA) wasn't done, scoring four straight points to get within three again, but the Warriors scored four of the next six points to take a 1-0 match lead with a 25-20 first-set victory.
 
Set two was tied 12-12 before Stan State pulled away, and set three was 9-8 before the Warriors used an 8-1 run to take command. The Warriors hit an outstanding .581 in the second set with 18 kills and no errors en route to a 25-16 set win and a 2-0 match lead.
 
The Warriors wrap up the regular season next week with two road games at the CCAA's top-two teams. They are at second-place Cal Poly Pomona on Friday and first-place Cal State San Bernardino on Saturday. Fans can find all live coverage links on WarriorAthletics.com.
