HAYWARD, Calif. --- It took a California Baptist University single-match record, two double-doubles, a late comeback and five sets, but CBU pulled out another 3-2 win early in the day at the Route 92 Showdown. The late match did not have nearly as much going on in favor of the Lancers.

CBU dropped its second match of the day to Cal State East Bay 3-1 (25-17, 22-25, 25-23, 25-21).

The Lancers fell behind 2-1 (27-29, 25-23, 20-25) to San Francisco State in opening match of the day at the tournament, but rallied with a 25-23 win in the fourth and a 16-14 thriller in the fifth for the win.

CBU jumped out to a strong 7-3 lead early in the fifth set, but the Gators fought back and three straight errors by the Lancers would even the game up at 9-9.

After SFSU took a 12-10 lead, a timeout helped the Lancers regroup. CBU went back to their star Ingrid Carmona getting three kills from the senior during a 4-1 run to take a 14-13 lead.

The teams traded points and then with CBU holding set point at 15-14 Kattie Givens and Kim McCalmont came up with the match-winning block on the attack from SFSU's Megan Johnson.

Carmona led all players with 25 kills in the match and added 21 digs for her fifth straight double-double. Malika O'Brien had a huge match as well, recording a double-double of her own with 12 kills and tying a CBU single-match record with a whopping 11 blocks.

The Lancer and Pioneers split the first two games in the late match, but the home team was able to pull out the four set win, out-hitting the Lancers .311-.201. CSUEB hit over .350 in each of the last two games.

Carmona led CBU with yet another double-double posting 15 kills and 13 digs, both team highs.

The split moves the Lancers to 5-2 on the season. CBU was 3-1 at the Route 92 Showdown and Carmona was named to the All-Tournament team.

CBU will be back in action Tuesday at 7 p.m. traveling to Azusa Pacific.
