HONOLULU – The Chaminade University women's volleyball team got one of their most balanced offensive displays on Wednesday, defeating crosstown rival Hawai'i Pacific University in straight sets, 25-22, 25-21, 25-15, at McCabe Gymnasium.

Reina Krueger (Fort Collins, Colo./Liberty Commons) put down eight more kills while Anna Karasinska (Nowa Ruda, Poland/Il Licem Ogolnoksztalcase IM) and Beele Wieczorek (Wiesbaden, Germany/Elly-Heuss School) had six each.
 
Mykelle Brainard (Carlsbad, Calif./Pacific Ridge) and Allison Panter (Denver, Colo./Portland State University/Denver School of Science and Technology HS) chipped in with five and four, respectively.

Chayse Hoon led the Sharks (4-19, 3-14 PacWest) with six kills.
 
HPU had early momentum, building a 15-10 first set lead before CUH responded on a 10-2 run to assume a 20-17 edge. Allen's two kills, including at set point, and an ace from Cheyenne Canche (San Antonio, Texas/Harlan) helped the 'Swords win the opening frame.
 
Chaminade owned a 22-21 lead in the second set but Panter put down back-to-back attacks then Allen, like she did in the first set, slammed down the game-winner, to help the 'Swords take a two-set advantage.
 
The Silverswords opened up a 7-1 lead in the third frame and ended it on an 8-3 run to claim their seventh sweep of the year.
