Riverside, Calif. - The Golden Eagles women's volleyball team defeated Simpson University, 3-0 (25-18, 25-16, 27-25), to win their fifth straight match and third straight Cal Pac match. La Sierra improves to 8-10 on the season and 3-2 in Cal Pac play. Tonight's match was the first of three consecutive Cal Pac matches that will be played over three consecutive days.
