LOS ANGELES — Despite gaining momentum in each set, Humboldt State couldn't build enough steam to pull out a win, falling to Cal State Los Angeles, 25-14, 25-20, 27-25 in California Collegiate Athletic Association volleyball action Friday.

HSU maintained contact throughout the second set, pulling within two points at 20-18 on a kill by Taylor Manuel. Mary Laupepa contributed two kills to help the Eagles put away the set with a 5-2 run.

The Lumberjacks led 13-11 in the third set, but the Eagles scored seven straight points and appeared to be ready to pull away to a comfortable win. Trailing 20-15, the Jacks rallied for four consecutive points of their own, with another Arzadon kill making it a one-point set.

Matsubu served four straight points to give the Jacks a 24-23 lead and earn set point, before the Eagles turned it around to take a 25-24 lead on two kills from Zuzana Cizova. Chelsea Hamilton's successful attack put the match away for Cal State L.A.
