SEATTLE – Breanne Wiekamp came up with the 1,000th dig of her career on Thursday night, but Central Washington slammed 15 more kills than Seattle Pacific and swept the Falcons in a Great Northwest Athletic Conference volleyball match.
 
Scores in Brougham Pavilion were 25-17, 25-11, 25-19.
 
Senior libero Wiekamp (Laguna Niguel, Calif.) started the evening with 997 digs. She added eight to that total, giving her 1,005 and making her just the eighth Falcon in the 30-year history of the program to collect 1,000.
 
The next player up the ladder from Wiekamp in the No. 7 spot on the SPU career list is Danielle Dettorre with 1,192 from 1996-99. The all-time leader is Anna Harold, who recorded 2,316 from 2008-11.
 
Linden Firethorne was the only player in double-digit kills for Central Washington (11-5, 7-2 GNAC), as she finished with 12. But the Wildcats had 42 for the night and just seven errors on 76 attacks for a sky-high .461 hitting percentage.
 
SPU (6-11, 4-5 GNAC) got seven kills from freshman middle blocker Shaun Crespi (Camarillo, Calif.) but had just 27 kills altogether, hitting .125. Crespi hit .286 (7 kills-3 errors-14 attacks), and senior middle blocker Luisa McInnis had four kills with just one error on eight attacks for a .375 percentage.
 
Freshman setter Symone Tran was out with an illness, so fellow freshman Molly Langdon got her first collegiate start. Langdon (Irvine, Calif.) finished with 24 assists and three digs.
 
The Falcons are back in Brougham on Saturday at 1:00 p.m. to take on Northwest Nazarene. The Crusaders, after a 3-6 start, have won seven of their past eight, including last week's four-game victory in Idaho against then-undefeated Alaska Anchorage, and Thursday night's four-game victory at Saint Martin's.
 
Seattle Pacific put up three straight points in Game 1 to take a 10-8 lead. But Central responded with seven in a row to go up 15-10, and stayed in front the rest of the way.
 
The Wildcats went on a 16-4 tear in the second game, turning a 3-1 deficit into a 17-7 advantage. The third game was tied seven times, the last at 13-13 when Central Washington put together a 4-1 surge to take a permanent lead.
 
"We've gotta show up. It's not enough just to have a good week of practice, we have to come ready to play," SPU coach Chris Johnson said. "We have to be able to problem-solve and change what we're doing if we need to.

"Since we got back from Alaska, we've been playing really well," Johnson added. "It just wasn't there tonight."
 
The Falcons and Wildcats have played 69 matches over the years, with Central now owning a 35-34 edge.
