Burnaby's Madeline Hait played errorless volleyball to lead Simon Fraser University to a straight set win over Montana State Billings.

The Burnaby Central grad served up a game-high 14 kills as the Clan defeated Billings 26-24, 25-17, 25-12 at home to move into sole possession of fourth place in Great Northwest confererence standings on Saturday.

The win came before a large home crowd on the team's annual Pink Night in support of breast cancer charities.

"Everyone on the floor contributed to the cause and our passing and defence allowed us to run our offence very effectively," SFU head coach Gina Schmidt in a school press release.

Amanda Renkema and Jessica Young also contributed at the net, posting 10 and eight kills, respectively.

Setters Brooklynn Gould-Bradbury and Danielle Curtis recorded 18 assists apiece, while Alison McKay had 19 digs for the 14-6 Clan.

This week, SFU is on the road for two key conference matchups, where they face 8-5 Central Washington and league-leading 12-1 Northwest Nazarene.
