The Swords are currently ranked #7 in the region and improved their record to 9-9, 4-3 in PacWest play with the victory.
Both teams hit .219 on the match but the Silverswords edged the Sea Warriors in kills (60-57), assists (52-49), service aces (12-6), and digs (70-64) to walk away with the win in four games 19-30, 30-25, 30-24 and 30-24.
