CEDAR CITY, Utah -- Victoria Marthaler had a career-high 19 kills, and Sacramento State dominated from start to finish in a 3-0 road win (25-17, 25-17, 25-20) at Southern Utah on Friday evening at America First Event Center.

The Hornets dominated statistically, holding healthy advantages in kills (43-29), hitting percentage (.319-.075), assists (41-27), digs (41-28) and blocks (9-6). The .319 hitting percentage was easily a season best as Sacramento Sate had 43 kills with just 14 errors in 91 swings.
