LANGLEY, B.C. – Spartans third-year setter Dora Komlodi picked up seven services aces as the Spartans swept Brandon in straight sets (25-17, 25-19, 25-15) Saturday at the Langley Events Centre.
  
Komlodi's seven aces tied for third most all-time in program history for a 3-set match. She added a game high 23 assists, and eight digs for TWU. Hilary Howe contributed 14 kills and hit .444, while Ansah Odoom added 10 kills while hitting .400.
 
Nicole Ashauer had six kills for Brandon, while Jamie Bain had 17 assists and Caitlin Le contributed 17 digs.
 
The first set opened with both teams trading scores until the Bobcats took a 16-15 lead. Down a point, the Spartans then turned up their offence, going on a 10-1 run to take the first set 25-17. Howe led TWU with  a team leading five kills in the opening set, as the Spartans held a .103 to .000 edge in hitting percentage.
 
TWU trailed 4-0 early in the second set, but once again responded on a 10-1 run to take a 10-5 lead. The Spartans wound up holding their lead for the remainder of the set and taking it 25-19. Odoom would pick up five kills, Jessica Bailey (Langley) added three, and Komlodi added two more service aces on the night.
 
Led by a .484 hitting in the third set, the Spartans closed out the game with a 25-15 score in the final set. Komlodi added 10 more assists to her stat line in the final set, while Howe doubled her kill count from seven to 14. 

"Brandon had a really good game tonight. They played tough on both defence and offence, and really made us work for the win. We really wanted to make sure our seniors were honoured this weekend, and I was really proud of how they played. It was a lot of fun to see Jessica Bailey and Michaella Crema play really well, and also get the win for Sych," says Spartan coach Ryan Hofer.

The Bobcats will play their final conference home games next weekend at the HLC against the Manitoba Bisons.
