Fullerton, CA – The Hope International women's volleyball team (7-11, 2-5 GSAC) won their second GSAC game in a row as they took down the Arizona Christian Firestorm 3-1 on Saturday afternoon in the Darling Pavilion.

The Royals came out of the gate quickly as they took an early 7-3 lead led by three kills from Cassidy Koffroth. The Firestorm would rally to get within 11-10 and later 21-20 but the Royals had all the answers as they closed on a 4-1 run with Koffroth finishing off the set with a kill to win 25-21 and give the Royals a 1-0 lead. The Firestorm came back in set two to take an early 5-4 lead but the Royals answered with a 7-0 run led by three kills in a row from Macie Powell to take an 11-5 lead. The Firestorm didn't give up as they got within 18-15 but nothing was stopping the Royals as they closed the set on a 7-2 run led by two kills from Addie Mathias to win 25-17 and take a 2-0 lead. 

The Firestorm came out strong in the third set as they took an early 11-6 lead forcing the Royals to take a timeout. The Royals managed to get back within 14-11 off a kill from Koffroth but the Firestorm weren't to be denied as they outscored the Royals 11-5 to win the set 25-16 and make it 2-1. The fourth set was a battle as both teams exchanged leads before back to back service aces from Kylee Hernandez giving the Royals a 15-14 lead.
