ANCHORAGE, Alaska – After fighting them to five sets in their first meeting, the Western Oregon Wolves were swept 3-0 (25-15, 25-21, 25-16) by the Alaska Anchorage Seawolves on Thursday at the Alaska Airlines Center.

Western Oregon (4-18, 2-13 GNAC) came out of the gates with their best hitting percentage of the night in game one, picking up a .241 mark on 29 total attacks. That, however, was countered by the .462 hit percentage of Alaska Anchorage (17-6, 12-3 GNAC).

Lauren Smith was the only Western player to reach double figures in kills, picking up 10 on the night along with three digs and an assist. Only three Wolves had more than two kills with Makenzie York and Sianna DeCarli each adding on eight. York's eight kills left her one shy of matching her season-high.

Vanessa Hayes had a match-high 17 kills for UAA on a .417 hit percentage for 19.0 points. Teammate Ellen Floyd was a dig shy of a double-double going for 30 assists and nine digs on Thursday.

WOU made their best push in the second set, coming within four points of the game win. After a 15-15 tie, the Seawolves scored five straight points to pull out in front and hold the lead the rest of the set.

Held to just 2.0 total blocks, it was the lowest team total for Western since Sept. 17 and matched their season-low in the category.

Next up, the Wolves play their final road game of the season Saturday, Nov. 9 in Fairbanks. First serve against the Nanooks is set for 3 p.m. PDT.
