PULLMAN, Washington - The Kats headed back to the court for the night game against Manhattan College, who gave WSU a tough match in their afternoon game. Manhattan College is coached by a former WSU graduate assistant, so his eye was on a successful homecoming. The match would be close the entire time, but the Kats pulled ahead late in each match secure a 3 set victory. Led by Kaylee Hawkins, the Kats defeated the Jaspars 26-24, 25-20, and 25-23.
Hawkins led all Kats with 17 kills in the match, and netted 10 digs to finish the night. Kym Loving, a fifth year senior from Cypress Springs set up 38 assists for the night. The most noticeable change from the first match against the University of San Francisco was the disappearance of freshman Deveny Wells-Gibson, as well as Kelli Stewart, who had a very limited role in the second match. While Wells-Gibson was out of the starting line-up, the Kats opted for Jamie Haas at libero, and she didn't disappoint, coming up big on numerous occasions.
This match showed the Kats resilience, and their ability to bounce back after a loss earlier in the afternoon. The Kats face tournament host WSU in the final game tomorrow at Bohler Gym. WSU handed Manhattan College a thorough defeat, only needing 3 matches to finish the game.
