Olympia, Wash – Northwest University (11-9, 7-4 CCC) controlled Evergreen State College (9-11, 7-4 CCC) for the bulk of the match to win 3-1. This was the Eagle's sixth straight conference win.
 
Sarah Warner had a fantastic night, providing effort all over the court with 12 kills and 12 digs. Keann White also forced the Geoducks' hand at the net with 12 kills and four blocks. Kylie Szczepanski provided five blocks as well.
 
Impressive efforts from Evergreen's Renita Gray (15 kills) and Sierra Wolff (50 assists) were not enough, as the Eagles closed out the night with a 3-1 win (25-19, 19-25, 25-19, 25-15). The Eagles have been on an impressive winning streak as of late. This sixth straight win continues to push them into good position for conference play.
 
Northwest head coach Steve Bain remarked, "Evergreen has been playing extremely well, and we knew they would be a challenge on their home court.  They have a lot of offensive weapons and did a nice job of keeping us off balance with their transition offense. We also struggled in serve-receive early in the match, but our ladies made some good adjustments, which allowed us to stabilize in serve-receive. Once we stabilized, we were able to side out consistently, and that was the difference in the match."
