SANTA CRUZ, Calif. -- After sweeping Friday's matches at the UC-Santa Cruz Slugfest Volleyball Tournament, the Lewis & Clark Pioneers fell in five sets (25-22, 20-25, 25-8, 22-25, 10-15) to Redlands before defeating Mills College in straight sets to move to 3-1 on the season.

Junior Alexe Navarro and freshman Julia Somers earned 1st Team All-Tournament honors, while freshmen Kortney Meyer and Mikayla Lopez received 2nd Team spots. No other team had four players selected for all-tournament awards.
