Saints' Home Opener Spoiled By Alaska - Alaska dominated the opening two sets, and were able to withstand the last minute push by Saint Martin's to spoil the Saints' home opener in straight sets, 25-14, 25-14, 25-20.
 
Saints Take Set Off Alaska Anchorage - After a quick first set, the Saints started to find life in the second set against Alaska Anchorage. Saint Martin's managed to grind out the third set victory before eventually falling in four to the Seawolves 25-12, 25-19, 23-25, 25-20 on Saturday night.
 
Kylie Alos Named To Cougar Classic All-Tournament Team – Averaging nearly 6.5 digs per set, Alos provided standout performance after standout performance during the five sets. Her 97 digs in the tournament led the way and helped keep the Saints in many close contests.
 
Alos Digging Her Way To The Top – Entering this week, Kylie Alos leads the GNAC in digs per set at 6.0. Her 168 digs is also fourth most in the GNAC.
 
Carter Coming In Hot – It didn't take transfer outside hitter Mackenzie Carter long to showcase her skills in an SMU uniform. The junior collected 51 kills in the opening five matches at the Cougar Classic, with a career high 18 coming against Western New Mexico. She has also recorded two double-double performances.
 
Balanced Approach At Setter – Sophomore Alyssa Bartlett and Freshman Emily Kinsley-DeLeon split time as the setter for the Saints over the first weekend. The two combined for 283 assists in five matches, with Bartlett picking up 168 and Kinsley-DeLeon at 115. The two also combined for 17 aces, with Barlett's 9 and Kinsley-DeLeon's 8 marking first and second best on the team.
 
Saints Picked 11th In Preseason Poll - Nationally ranked Western Washington and in-state rival Central Washington tied for the top spot in the GNAC at 114 votes. Alaska Anchorage and Simon Fraser fell in closely behind for third and fourth at 93 and 90 votes respectively. Making up the middle of the pack is Alaska (75 votes), followed by Seattle Pacific (63), Northwest Nazarene (53), and Concordia (50). Rounding out the always competitive GNAC standings was Montana State Billings (36), Western Oregon (26), and Saint Martin's (12).
 
2019 Saints At A Glance - Saint Martin's only features one senior on the roster in Ililani Kamaka, who is the team's returning leader in kills (213), and digs per set (2.22). Looking to build upon a record setting freshman campaign will be Alyssa Bartlett. Bartlett recorded 732 assists last season, which ranks 8th most all-time already in program history. Bartlett and Kamaka will also serve as the Saints' top returning servers, combining for 45 aces last season.
 
Injuries proved to be a key storyline last season for the Saints, losing sophomore Emily Gooding, and freshman Annika Briggs, and Kallie Langford. In 2019, the Saints hope to return all three to action, with Briggs and Gooding being the leading and third leading blockers from last year. Joining them up front up is sophomore Bridgette Bourgouin, who was the second leading blocker at 41 blocks in 2018.
 
Saint Martin's brings in 11 new faces to the team, including transfer Mackenzie Carter, and 10 freshman. The Saints scouted all along the west coast, signing a freshman class of six Washingtonians, three from Oregon, and one from California. Out of their 19 players on the roster, 17 of them are of freshman or sophomore eligibility, making the Saints the youngest team in the GNAC. Head coach Jon Killingbeck was forced to replace four senior starters from last season, but a wave of new talent will help soften the transition.
 
Bartlett Setting Up The Attack – In 2018, Alyssa Bartlett had a freshman season for the record books. Her 732 assists rank 8th most all-time in program history already, and was 9th most in a single season. In 2019, Barlett will look to become only the fifth Saint ever to reach the 1,000 assist mark.
