Washington dominated in the second game taking the win 30-12 with the Nanooks unable to find an answer to anything the Vikings were throwing at them, and only managing a -.031 hitting percentage with seven kills in 32 attempts. Viking servers Angie Alvord, Marissa Hill and Katie Robinson managed to accumulate three aces each in the second game.

After the break the Nanooks came out and played their best game yet keeping the score close until the very end where the Vikings pulled it out to take the win 30-24.

Despite their loss several players still had great games. Senior Jessica King lead the team in kills collecting eight total, five of which came during the close battle of the third game. Megan Thigpen had seven kills on the night, and Erica Gage and Korlyn Bolster had six.

With their loss to Western Washington the Nanooks fall below .500 for the first time on the season. They drop to 9-10 overall and to 3-8 in the conference while Washington improves to 14-4 on the season and 10-1 in the conference.

The Vikings were lead by Libero Courtney Schneider who is the GNAC’s all time career digs leader, and had 24 on the night, and by their outside hitter Emily Castro who had 11 kills on the night.

Next week the Nanooks hit to road and head to Seattle and then to Montana State- Billings. They then return for the final two home matches on October 25 and October 27.
