Saints Take Set Off Seawolves At Home - After a dominating performance by Alaska Anchorage in the first set, the Saints roared back in the second set and forced a tie into the break. Saint Martin's kept the momentum rolling in the third set before a timeout by the Seawolves settled them down and Anchorage responded by winning the third and fourth set. Rachel Gondrezick led the Saints' offense with 13 kills as the Saints (2-13, 0-9) quickly shrugged off the first set loss and bounced back to collect 14 kills. The Saints defense managed to handle most of the Seawolves' (14-3, 7-2) attacks and secured the 28-26 set win. The Saints had the Seawolves on their heels with a 7-0 lead in the third set; however, the talent of Anchorage proved to be too much as UAA stormed back in the third set and cruised in the final set.
 
Nanooks Best Saints In Three Sets - Alaska Fairbanks' offense proved to be too much for the Saints to handle, as UAF averaged over 12 kills and hit .300 for the match, sweeping the Saints in straight sets on Saturday afternoon. The Saints (2-14, 0-10) continue to look for their first win in the conference season, and had their losing streak stretched to 11 matches. Alaska (7-10, 5-5) continued their winning streak, backed by a whole team effort on the offensive end and 16 team blocks.
