Pasadena, Calif. - The Pomona-Pitzer Volleyball team won the first two games easily and held off a stubborn challenge from Caltech in the third as it picked up a 3-0 sweep on Saturday.

Game scores were 25-10, 25-12 and 25-22, as the Sagehens improve to 6-4 overall and 1-1 in the SCIAC. Pomona-Pitzer fell on Friday evening 3-1 in its SCIAC opener at La Verne.

Sophomore middle blocker Samantha Cahill (pictured) had 11 kills, hitting .429, and added four blocks for the Sagehens, while freshman outside hitter Michelle Schultz added 11 kills as well.

Caltech held a 20-18 lead in the third game, but Pomona-Pitzer rattled off six straight points (five on the serve of Nicole Bauthier) to put it on the brink of winning the match. The Beavers earned the next two points to close within 24-22, but the Sagehens earned the win on a service error.

Bauthier also had a huge serving run in the second game, as she won eight straight in a 9-0 Sagehen run that turned an 11-10 lead into a commanding 20-10 advantage. Freshman Lindsey Burkart-Lima had a pair of kills in the run and capped off the game with the winning point at 25-12.

Pomona-Pitzer will be back in action on Tuesday when it hosts Whittier in a SCIAC contest at 7 p.m. at Voelkel Gymnasium.
