Box Score HONOLULU (September 25, 2015)—Junior Pomai Recca led the way for the Hawaii Pacific women's volleyball team with a match-high 18 kills as the Sharks defeated Academy of Art (Calif.) University 23-25, 26-24, 30-28, 25-23  in a PacWest Conference matchup at St. Andrew's Priory.
 
The Sharks (8-3, 3-0 PacWest) extended their winning streak to six matches thanks in part to Recca, a former Kamehameha standout, who also netted 3 service aces. Setter Tenika Wentworth notched 39 assists, while senior defensive specialist Amanda Moriarty picked up 20 digs. Kayla Demari hit .417 with 13 kills, while senior Elizabeth Culpepper added 9 kills.

"Senior Amanda Moriarty played one of the best, if not the best, most complete matches in her career," said HPU coach Daryl Kapis. "She was very focused all night and produced in a big way for us both in serve-receive and defensively."
 
HPU now leads the all-time series with ART U, 9-3.

"Academy of Art came out and gave us their 'A' game and we had to fight tooth-and-nail all night long. The composure we showed was amazing," Kapis said.
 
The Urban Knights (4-7, 0-3 PacWest) received 17 kills from Melissa Brum, while Rachael Smith added a match-high 44 assists.
 
HPU returns to St. Andrew's Priory on Saturday, Sept. 26, at 6 p.m. to host Dominican (Calif.) University.
