  CSM  REPELLS  3 MATCH  POINTS  FOR  DRAMATIC EXTENDED 5-SET VOLLEYBALL WIN OVER HARTNELL

SAN MATEO – After repelling three match points, College of San Mateo finally sent Hartnell College home with its first Coast North Conference women's volleyball loss on a spike by Krystal Hin for an extended 5-set victory Friday night.

The 18-16 final set win capped a marathon 13-25, 25-23, 25-22, 17-25, 18-16 triumph for the state No. 23 ranked Lady Bulldogs (11-6, 2-1 Coast North) over No. 22 Hartnell (11-10, 1-1). CSM is in second place alone behind former state champion Cabrillo (10-4, 3-0).

Hartnell led, 14-12, to gain the first two match point plays before CSM scored twice to tie it. The Panthers tallied again for another win opportunity at 15-14 that San Mateo countered with two points to move into the match point position at 16-15. Hartnell tied it before the Bulldogs rattled off the final two points, the decider coming off a serve by Michelle Cheuk. Hin, a freshman out of Terra Nova High, got her ninth kill of the match from the corner of the net to end it. She also had 18 digs.

Hannah Games led CSM with 15 kills, while Jada Sealy and Lille Tuivailala each had ten. Coast North assists leader Ashlee Dugaio added 51 to her season total.
