San Diego - The San Diego State Aztec women's volleyball team turned in an impressive offensive performance for the second night in a row as they downed visiting Air Force in three games Saturday evening in Peterson Gym.
SDSU won by game scores of 15-6, 15-10, 15-7 to improve its season record to 8-9 overall and 2-2 in Mountain West Conference play. The Falcons fell to 6-8, losing their third straight league match to fall to 0-3 in the MWC.
The Aztecs used a balanced attack with four players recording double figures in kills led by senior Amy Hallquist. Finishing with 10 kills apiece for SDSU were Nicole Akporiaye, Erin Grady and Monet Solberg.
