Yellowjackets Squeeze Out Fifth Set Win over Saints - The Saints suffered a heartbreaking five set loss to Montana State Billings on Saturday, despite major offensive performances by Molly Cichosz, Ililani Kamaka, and Alysaa Bartlett. The Saints looked to be on the verge of knocking off Montana State Billings multiple times down the stretch; however, the Yellowjackets managed to find a way to collect the kills they need to escape Marcus Pavilion with a victory.
 
Vernoy Sets A Career High In Kills – In the final match of the D-II Volleyball Showcase Tournament, Megan Vernoy put together one of her best offensive matches in her collegiate career.

Vernoy's .550 hitting percentage led the team and was ninth best in program history.
 
Alyssa Bartlett Cracks 50 – The freshman setter recorded her first 50 assist match of her collegiate career, reaching 53 against Hawaii Hilo in the D-II Volleyball Showcase Tournament.

Kamaka Deep To Serve – With the return of Ililani Kamaka to the lineup, the Saints added one of the top servers in the conference back to their ranks. Entering the week, Kamaka sits atop of the GNAC leaderboard with 15 aces and 0.44 aces per set. Her emergence as one of the top servers in the conference is one reason why the Saints lead the GNAC in aces as a team at 1.78 per set and 82 total.
