One night later she was at it again, totaling 12 kills, 10 digs, four blocks and an ace as the Blues completed the weekend sweep with a 3-0 win.
As of Jan. 18 Sutcliffe ranked second in the league in kills with 3.3 per set, 14th in the league in blocks with 0.43 per set and second in total offence.
The Blues are cruising at the top of the PacWest standings with a 13-1 record and are ranked No. 3 in Canada. Their next home games will come Feb. 6 and 7 against Camosun.
