PASADENA, Calif. – Juniors Caitlin Murphy and Alex Hayes both hit .700, leading the Cal Lutheran women's volleyball team's efficient attack as they cruised past Caltech on Tuesday night, 25-15, 25-12, 25-14.

The Regals (7-9,3-5 SCIAC) hit .372 as a team, which was their best attacking effort of the season. They also collected 11 service aces in the match, their second-highest total on the year. 
 
Head Coach Kellee Roesel said, "That was a great team win for our group. Some of the best defense we've played this season and certainly our best offensive performance. Proud of the kids that came in and made an impact".

Murphy finished her night with a season-high eight kills, with Hayes, Kennedy Smith, and Kira Mortensen next in line with seven. Tess Holbert was the top server for the Regals with her second highest match total of five aces, while Tarin Rueckert added three more.

Holbert and Makenna Kawamura quarterbacked the attack with 14 and 13 assists each, and Alexis Holloway provided eight digs. First-year Kaylee Clayton was also solid on defense, tallying a season-high seven digs.
 
Caltech (4-13,1-7 SCIAC) was led by Andrea Li with six kills. Lana Saopraseuth provided nine assists and Karen Cao collected 14 digs in the loss.
