SEATTLE – Breanne Wiekamp concluded her career with 30 digs, and Ellie Britt went out with a double-digit kill performance, but Simon Fraser had 19 more kills as a team to earn a four-game victory in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference volleyball finale on Saturday.
 
Scores on Senior Night in Brougham Pavilion were 25-23, 25-9, 21-25, 25-19.





Senior libero Wiekamp (Laguna Niguel, Calif.) finished with 1,230 digs for her career, the seventh-highest total in SPU history. That included 531 this fall, a per-game average of 5.59 that ranks as the third-highest for a single season in the 30 years of the Falcon program.
 
By playing in all four sets on Saturday, Wiekamp officially became just the second-ever Seattle Pacific ironwoman. The Falcons played in 399 sets during her four years, and she was on the court for all of them.
 
Senior outside hitter Britt (Orange, Calif.) had 11 kills in her final match. Britt finished with 218 for the year, a single-season best, and 639 for her career.
 
Middle blocker Luisa McInnis (Santa Rosa, Calif.) hit .217 with six kills and just one error, and also had three block assists in her finale. Middle blocker Jessica Boyle (Lake Stevens, Wash. / Edmonds-Woodway HS) closed out with one block assist.
 
Freshman setter Symone Tran put her 13^th double-double into the books with 30 assists and 13 digs. She also had two kills and three block assists.
 
Sophomore outside hitter Lexi Biondi (Albuquerque, N.M.) matched Britt with 11 kills.
 
The Falcons (7-21, 5-15 GNAC) had several five-point leads in the opening game, the last of them at 10-5, before Simon Fraser (15-13, 11-9 GNAC) rallied. The Clan finally tied it at 14-14, part of a 3-0 run that left them with a 16-14 lead, and they stayed in front the rest of the way.
 
Simon Fraser had complete control of Game 2 after an early string of five straight points turned a 2-1 deficit into a 6-2 lead. Another surge of six in a row midway through provided a 19-6 advantage.
 
SPU found some spark in the third game to come back from 14-11 down. Tied at 21-21, the Falcons scored the final four points to force a fourth game.
 
It was tied at 12-12 in Game 4 when the Clan put up three straight and never trailed again.
 
"The third game, we played really well," coach Chris Johnson said. "We just weren't able to get enough kills. (The Falcons had 42 for the night and hit .150 compared to Simon Fraser's 61 kills and .222 hitting). Our defense wasn't getting it done, and we got tooled on the block a lot.
 
"But our back row defense was way better the last two sets," Johnson said. "Luisa had a good match, and Bre wound up with 30 digs, which was just awesome."
 
Seattle Pacific got 10 points off of the block, with freshman middle Shaun Crespi (Camarillo, Calif.) factoring into six of those with five block assists and one solo. Crespi also had five kills and hit .364. with only one error on 11 attacks.
 
Devon May led Simon Fraser with 16 kills with .279 hitting, and Madison Power hammered 10 kills and hit .529.
