Camille Sherrill had a career-high 23 kills and Brooke Brilliant added 16 to lead the Colorado College volleyball team to a thrilling, five-set upset over 16^th-ranked Southwestern University Saturday afternoon in Houston, Texas.
 
Sherrill, who collected a then career-high 22 kills in Friday's four-set win over St. Thomas, was a monster offensively and defensively on Saturday, equaling her career-best with 21 digs, set last night as well.
 
After falling 25-23 in the first set, the Tigers stormed back to take a 2-1 lead, 25-19 and 25-12, thanks in large part to Sherrill (eight kills) and Brilliant (seven kills). The Pirates, who suffered their first league loss of the season, rallied to take set four, 25-22, but the Tigers held firm and won the fifth and deciding set, 15-11.
 
Colorado College trailed 9-8 in the final set, but a pair of kills from Sherrill and one from Brilliant put the Tigers ahead 11-9. Southwestern cut it to 11-10, but CC rolled off four of the final five points to take the victory. Sherrill had six kills and just one error, while Brilliant had three kills with no errors, in the fifth set.
 
"This was a match with two talented teams competing hard, head coach Sharon Dingman said. "We made big plays at the right time. Annie Joo had her best match as a Tiger. What a great day for her to do it."
 
Joo tied her career-high with 15 digs, Carolyn Dormady finished with 11 kills and Annie Steger collected 48 assists for the second straight match. Meghan Gannon led all players with a season-high 28 digs.
 
CC (10-7, 6-1 SCAC) posted a .163 hitting percentage, compared to just .074 for the Pirates (14-2, 5-1), who were led by Christina Kuras with 11 kills and Claire Romo with 24 assists.
 
The Tigers return to action and will face another ranked opponent on Sunday, Oct. 13, against No. 22 Trinity, beginning at 12 p.m. (CT).
