LOS ANGELES, Calif. (Oct. 28, 2008) –  For the third time consecutive match Ashley Rosenbaum has been a threat at the net, tonight recording five solo blocks in the Tigers' 3-0 victory over the Caltech Beavers on Tuesday in Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference action.

In the 25-15, 25-12, 25-17 victory, Kathryn Bockmon led the Tigers and tied with Lisa Yee for the lead in kills with eight. Nyki Dedic was right behind with seven while freshman Gwynne Davis tallied five. Davis added a match-high three service aces as well. Ginger Grimes had two aces for the Tigers.

Lisa Fukuzato recorded a match high 10 kills while Grimes and Jamie Nikami split the role as setter, recording 15 and 10 assists, respectively. Bockmon added a pair of block assists as well.

Occidental improves to 6-9 overall, 3-8 in SCIAC play and remains in sixth place.
