SAN DIEGO, California – Hawai'i Hilo Women's Volleyball fell to No. 13 Point Loma (19-25, 23-25, 23-25) Wednesday evening in Pacific West Conference play at the Golden Gymnasium.

Hawai'i Hilo was tough at the net outblocking PLNU, 13-6, with Kamryn Childs contributing to seven of them, a career high. However, the Vulcans committing 13 reception errors to just one service ace against the Sea Lions.
Raelee Samio (.462) and Isabella Freeman (.545) each hit seven kills while Samara Cruz led with eight. Cruz, who just surpassed the 1,000 career mark earlier this week, is also now just a single dig away from breaking 1,000 career digs.
Hawai'i Hilo moved to a 10-8 conference record (15-13 overall) as No. 13 Point Loma remained unbeaten at 16-0 (22-0 overall).
