The Warriors, who have won their last 49 matches, are also ranked No. 1 by vball.com.

Tateyama sets record

Pearl City alumnus Trisha Tateyama scored the first goal of the game to set a new Seattle University all-time scoring record, to help the Seattle women's soccer team defeated Concordia University, 6-0.

Tateyama entered the game tied with Ingrid Gunnestad at 113 career points. Tateyama's goal not only captured the scoring title, but tied her with Gunnestad for most goals in a season, at 20.

Tateyama, a senior, has done the most scoring this year. She ranks in the top two in all Seattle offensive categories. She is second in career assists with 38 and her 40 career goals palces her just four shy of Gunnestad's record of 44.
