Davida Hill and Sophie Lachapelle deliver career-high 19 kills each in win over Cougars

AZUSA, Calif. – Davida Hill and Sophie Lachapelle had a career-high 19 kills each and Eva Person delivered 46 assists to propel the SFU Red Leafs to a 3-1 win over host Azusa Pacific in the opening volleyball match of the APU/CPP Invitational at the Felix Events Center.
 
It was the third straight win for the Red Leafs, 4-1 to start the season, who registered set scores of 25-22, 25-22, 20-25 and 25-22.
 
Lachapelle has recorded double-digits kills in every game this season and she delivered in a big way in the decisive fourth set Thursday, leading the way with nine kills. Davida delivered six kills in the final game. Early in the fourth, the Cougars were up 7-5, but the Red Leafs rattled off six unanswered points to take the lead for good. A late comeback attempt by the Cougars made it 24-22, but Simon Fraser closed things out with a block from Person and Kalyn Hartmann at the net for the 25th and final point of the evening.
 
In the opening stanza, the teams were tied 6-6 when SFU took control, opened up a seven-point margin and never trailed on their way to a 25-22 win. In the second set, SFU trailed 11-8 but closed out the game on a 17-11 run when Hill delivered the game-winning kill.
 
SFU had an attack advantage in the opening two sets, hitting at a .324 (16 of 34) clip in Set 1 and a .462 (15 of 26) pace in Set 2.
 
The Cougars regrouped in the third set. Azusa Pacific opened up a 10-6 lead, but Simon Fraser came back with six of the next seven points to grab its first advantage of the set at 12-11. The game was tied briefly at 13-13 before the Cougars went on a 6-0 run to put the game away.
 
Overall, SFU put down 65 kills to APU's 60, had a 59-to-51 advantage in assists, and a 61-to-50 advantage in digs. SFU had an overall attack percentage of .353 (65 of 136) compared to the Cougars .287 attack percentage. Each team had 10 blocks.
 
Lachapelle had a double-double with 19 kills and 10 digs while Jocelyn Sherman had 10 kills and 10 digs.
