BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - The CSUB volleyball team couldn't sustain a fast start Saturday night as Seattle University rallied for a 16-25, 25-17, 25-22, 25-18 win on senior night in the Icardo Center.

CSUB was brilliant early, hitting .318 while winning set one going away. That's when Seattle got hot. Actually, Seattle didn't get hot so much as Redhawk outside hitter Cristin Richards got hot.

Richards finished with 23 of Seattle's 48 kills, hitting .422 on the night. The eight other players in the Redhawk lineup combined for 25 kills and an anemic .054 attack percentage. Unfortunately for the Roadrunners, it was enough to get the job done this night.

Freshman outside hitter Haleigh Haratyk (Corona/Centennial HS) led CSUB with 14 kills. Senior libero Lindsay Toone (Liberty HS) added a match-high 21 digs playing the final home match of her collegiate career. CSUB's only other senior, defensive specialist Allison Cote (Liberty HS) played in all four sets and added four digs.

The Roadrunners will take a week off before heading to San Diego to face San Diego State Nov.13. They will then head to Seattle for the NCAA Division I Independent Tournament Nov. 19-20.
