Wildcats sophomore Kassandra Nall led the team with 18 kills. Sophomore Maria Wahl and junior Gwyneth Wentzel also had strong performances tallying 9 kills each.

The Wildcats will look to get back on the winning track when they travel to Seaside Saturday, Sept. 21 to take on Cal State Monterey Bay at 5 p.m.
