BABSON PARK, Fla. (October 24, 2018) – Backed by 15 blocks as a team and an 18-kill performance by Virginia Salanoa-Sagapolu, the Webber International University women's volleyball team overcame rough third and fourth sets to defeat Keiser University 3-1 (25-22, 25-12, 20-25, 27-25) on Wednesday inside the Sabbagh Athletic Center.

Webber (21-4 overall, 13-1 The Sun Conference) saw Julia Ferraro finish with a career-high eight blocks, all of which were assisted blocks, while Salla Rautiainen added a career-high of her own in blocks with seven. Svenja Koenig matched her career-high with five blocks and Kalameli Matautia added three blocks.

All of the blocks from Ferrao, Rautiainen, Koenig and Matautia were assisted blocks. The only two solo blocks on the night came from Salanoa-Sagapolu, who in all finished with three combined blocks to match Matautia.

After the Warriors overcame a 21-20 deficit in the first set and ran away with the second set to take a two-sets-to-none lead, Webber never led the in third set after four straight Seahawk points gave Keiser (16-4, 5-9) a 12-9 advantage.

In the final set, Webber led 19-11, but a huge 10-1 run for Keiser made it 21-20 Seahawks.

After the teams traded 3-0 runs and then split the next two points to make the score 25-24 Keiser, Webber rallied to finish it off with back-to-back kills by Salanaoa-Sagapolu and Bowen and a Keiser attack error.
