PORTLAND, Ore. – Sianna DeCarli tallied a game-high 15 kills and hit .313 as the Western Oregon University volleyball team concluded the Concordia Tournament Saturday morning against Cal State Monterey Bay.

After trading points, WOU went on a 5-0 run to jump out to a 15-12 lead with Crowell and Stanton tallying points before a double-block by DeCarli and Makenzie York closed the run. Crisp and Lauren Smith combined for a double-block to jump the lead to 19-14 and following a service ace from Smith moved WOU to a 22-20 lead, the Otters (2-0) reeled off four straight points to move to set point at 24-22. Crowell answered for the Wolves with a kill before a Jenna Tobin kill for Cal State Monterey Bay gave the Otters the 25-23 opening set win.

WOU responded in the second set with Crowell and DeCarli posting kills before a double-block from York and DeCarli had the Wolves looking at a 4-1 lead. Following a run by the Otters to get back to within two at 10-8, WOU began to pull away when a kill by Crisp sparked a 5-0 run as Crisp added another kill, then teamed with Crowell for a block and after an Otter error, Crowell capped the run with a kill at 15-8. WOU kept the pressure on closing the set on a 4-1 run with DeCarli and Smith collecting kills before Crisp and DeCarli combined for a block and then a solo block by Crisp gave the Wolves a 25-15 second set win to even the match.

A York kill and then three straight kills from DeCarli kept things close early in the third set before the Otters moved out to a 10-4 lead. Kills by Smith and Crisp kept the deficit at five before Cal State Monterey Bay closed the set on a 5-1 run to take the set at 25-14.

WOU opened the fourth set with a 3-0 lead after an Otter service error, Crowell spun in a pair of service aces. The Otters responded with an 8-0 run to move out to an 8-3 lead. A pair of DeCarli kills and one from Crisp had the deficit back to two. The Wolves kept the deficit at two points with Crowell posting a kill at 13-11 and after an attacking error had it at 14-12, the Otters went on a 6-0 run to move out to a 20-12 lead.
