POMONA – Daisy Duke exploded for 21 kills and a .571 hitting percentage, lifting the No. 20-ranked Cal Poly Pomona volleyball team to a convincing 3-0 sweep (25-17, 25-13, 25-14) over visiting Cal State San Marcos Saturday afternoon at Kellogg Arena in Pomona.
 
With the victory, the Broncos have now won 14 consecutive matches, rising to 14-1 overall and 8-0 in the CCAA. The Cougars fell to 5-10 (4-4 CCAA).
 
Duke recorded six kills in the opening set, five in the second set, then launched 10 kills in the third and final set to demolish the Cougars defense. With 21 in total, she was one kill shy of matching her career-high, which she accomplished in a four-set match back on Sept. 9 against Cal State Monterey Bay. It paced an offense that hit .352 with 46 kills, nine errors in 105 attacks.
 
Kaitlan Tucker, the best blocker in the nation, continued to dominate up front, assisting on five blocks while chipping in with 11 kills on the other side of the net. Samantha Campion scored 16 digs and Mackenzie Sullivan had 11. Caitie Mueller handed out 37 assists to go along with seven digs, three assisted blocks and two service aces.
 
Cal State San Marcos was led by Sofia Hedqvist, who had nine kills and three blocks.
 
Cal Poly Pomona will take on perennial powerhouse Cal State San Bernardino twice next weekend in a home-and-home series. The Broncos will head to San Bernardino Friday for a 7:00 pm first serve before coming back home Saturday at 5:00 pm.
