"This match we really tried to focus on ourselves in a couple different areas," said PLNU head coach Jonathan Scott. "We performed really nicely for the most part in those areas.
 
"One of the great things about being at home is we get to be in our routine so it was nice that we got to work on ourselves this week," Scott added.
 
The Sea Lions played 12 student-athletes, and nine record a kill.
 
"It is really important to get everyone game experience," said Scott. "As much as everyone gets equal playing time at practice it is important to get them game experience."
 
The Sea Lions will now head on the road to the Bay Area for three contests next weekend. They will face Dominican (CA) on Thursday, Notre Dame de Namur on Friday and have rematch with Holy Names on Saturday.
 
"We are just trying to stick with the theme of focusing on ourselves right now," Scott concluded.
