SEATTLE – Simon Fraser University finished with a winning record for the second straight year after dispatching the Seattle Pacific University Falcons in four sets (25-23, 25-9, 21-25, 25-19) in their final game of the 2015 season.
 
This victory gives the Clan a 15-13 (.550) overall record and the team placed fifth in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference with an 11-9 mark. Last season, the Clan earned its first winning season since joining the NCAA in 2010, finishing 2014 with a 17-9 overall record and an 11-7 record in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference.
 
"I'm happy we could send our seniors off on a winning note," said Clan head coach Gina Schmidt. "Dani, Jessi & Helen have put a lot into this team over the past 4-5 years and they have helped to lay the foundation for what is going to be a bright future for our program."
 
It was the final game for seniors Danielle Curtis, Jessica Young and Helen Yan.
 
"We talked about playing our best volleyball of the season at the end of the year and over the past few weeks I think we've been able to do that," said Schmidt.
 
Simon Fraser won six of its last seven games and ends the season with three straight wins.
 
The Falcons (7-21, 5-15 GNAC) had several five-point leads in the opening game, the last of them at 10-5, before Simon Fraser rallied for the win. The Clan finally tied it at 14-14, part of a 3-0 run that left them with a 16-14 lead, and they stayed in front the rest of the way.
 
Simon Fraser had complete control of Game 2 after an early string of five straight points turned a 2-1 deficit into a 6-2 lead. Another surge of six in a row midway through provided a 19-6 advantage.
 
Tied at 21-21 in Set 3, the Falcons scored the final four points to force a fourth game.
 
It was tied at 12-12 in Game 4 when the Clan put up three straight and never trailed again.
 
Devon May led Simon Fraser with 16 kills with .279 hitting, and Madison Power hammered 10 kills and hit .529.
