Mahala Kaapuni had a team-high 11 kills, leading the 15th-ranked Chaminade women’s volleyball team to a straight-sets victory over Academy of Art on Saturday at McCabe Gym.
The Silverswords (28-3, 16-3 PacWest) also got 10 kills from Ajack Malual in the 25-18, 25-15, 24-17 win. Chaminade held the Urban Knights (4-21, 3-15) to a minus-.052 hitting percentage for the match.
With the win, Chaminade broke the program single-season record for wins. But Point Loma defeated Westmont later in the day, clinching the PacWest regular-season championship and ending the Silverswords’ two-year reign.
