BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - The CSUB volleyball closed the 2009 season in style Saturday afternoon with a 25-18, 25-20, 25-21 win over San Jose State in the Icardo Center.

Not only did the Roadrunners say farewell to two of the top-ranked players statistically in school history-seniors Barbie Unfried and Kayla Williamson-but they said so long to their transitional status as well. The next time CSUB takes the volleyball court, it will be NCAA Division I Tournament eligible for the first time.

But Saturday provided one more opportunity for the seniors to shine, and they went out in style. Williamson collected 16 digs to break Mystie McNaughton's school record for digs in a season and set the new standard at 664. Unfried, meanwhile, added 33 assists to her career total and will finish the season as the No. 1 setter among NCAA Division I Independent schools. She also ends her career ranked No. 5 on CSUB's career assist list, despite playing just two seasons as a Roadrunner.

Given the backdrop, the match itself was almost anticlimactic. CSUB raced to an 8-0 lead in the first set and never trailed while winning the first two sets. The Spartans fought back to make the Roadrunners work for the third set, but CSUB battled through nine ties and five lead changes to pull out the win and the match.

Outside hitter Lindy DeGeare finished her breakout sophomore season with a match-high 15 kills. Freshman rightside hitter Morgan Pettway also finished the season strong with eight kills.

Middle blocker Alysia Baker added three aces Saturday to edge DeGeare for the NCAA Division I Independent lead in that category. The sophomore serving duo finished 1-2 among Independent servers this season, with 54 and 52 aces respectively.
