ROHNERT PARK, Calif-  Let Thursday night's performance be proof that the 2008 Sonoma State volleyball team is for real.  The Seawolves swept No. 15 Cal State L.A. in straight sets, 25-20, 25-18, 25-20 to extend their winning streak to six in a row and improve to 10-1, 3-0 CCAA.  The Golden Eagles fall for the first time this season, dropping to 9-1, 2-1 CCAA.

It was the first-ever Sonoma State sweep of Cal State L.A. and just the fifth all-time victory in 30 matches.  The Seawolves have also set a school-record for the best start in school history with ten wins in their first eleven matches.  The 2001 team was 9-2 after eleven.  Finally, the Seawolves are 3-0 in CCAA play for the first time since 2002, Bear Grassl's first year at the helm.

The first half of the first set was back and forth with each team going on mini-runs.  With the score tied at 16, Ali Walker's kill gave the Seawolves a lead they would not relinquish.  SSU closed the door by scoring the final four points, three of them coming on Golden Eagle miscues.

SSU jumped out to a 7-2 lead in set two and hardly looked back, extending their lead to as many as eight at 17-9.

Tied at 12 in set three, the Seawolves scored three straight points, again on CSULA hitting errors.  They wouldn't trail the rest of the way as Walker, Sather, and Fox were just too much.

Walker finished the night with ten kills and 12 digs.  She also had a couple of service aces and a solo block.  Kristy Sather had a team-high 11 kills and Lindsay Brown, despite being hampered by an injured ankle, guided the offense with 30 assists.  Devin Scully and Taylor Krenwinkel were also solid, each posting 15 digs.

The Golden Eagles were led by Gabriela Bulawczyk, who finished with a game-high 12 kills.  CSULA hit .048 for the match, compared to .206 for the Seawolves.

The Seawolves will look to extend their winning streak to seven on Saturday night when they host Cal State Dominguez Hills.
