Chestnut Hill, Mass. - Sophomores Sarah Katinger (Stratford, Conn.) and Annie Cella (Burr Ridge, Ill.) combined for 32 of Providence College's 50 kills to lead the Friars to a 3-1 win over the Boston College Eagles Friday night at the Power Gym at BC.

The win moved the Friars one step closer to the BIG EAST Tournament as they improved to 14-10 overall, but 6-3 in league play which placed PC fourth in the standings. Six teams make the tournament with PC's last appearance coming in 1994. Boston College fell to 12-15 overall and 3-5 in league play.

The Friars have now won eight of their last nine matches and 12 of the last 15 since September 25th.
