KIRKLAND – Northwest takes to the road this weekend with their sights set on reckoning a score or two.
 
When the Eagles (10-9 overall and 8-5 in the Cascade Collegiate Conference) play Friday at Northwest Christian and Saturday at No. 7 Corban, they compete against two teams that dealt them home losses last month.
 
Northwest played without Hannah Lord and Cristina Hegarty in the last meeting against NCU. Keann White led NU with eight kills, and Courteney Carr had a double-double with 19 assists and 11 digs. Cambria Lingenfelder had 15 kills and 13 digs for the Beacons.
 
Cristina Hegarty had 17 digs, and Tatiana Ensz put together 11 kills for NU in the Eagles' 3-1 loss to Corban last month. Jacquelyn Clark paced the Warriors with 15 kills.
 
With 2.3 blocks per game, the Eagles are 19th in the NAIA as a front line. Abi Broussard is fourth in the Cascade Collegiate Conference and 24th in the nation with 1.12 blocks per game, and Kylie Szczepanski is No. 36 at 1.07.
 
Northwest is ranked 18th in hitting percentage in the NAIA at .228. Keann White carries a .293 average and is ranked 48th in the nation and second in the conference.
 
NU averages 2.01 aces per set to lead the league. That mark is No. 30 in the NAIA. Abi Broussard, who also is No. 30 in the individual category, leads the team with 0.5 aces per game. Broussard leads the CCC with her 34 aces and aces-per-game average. Anna Saelens, at 0.4, is second in the conference.
 
Hannah Lord has 180 kills and leads the Eagles with 2.81 kills per game. Lord is fourth in kills per set in the Cascade Collegiate Conference. Keann White (2.29) and Abi Broussard (2.19) also average multiple kills per game.
 
Courteney Carr and Anna Saelens have shared the set-up duties this season, with Carr leading with 444 total and 6.43 assists per game. Saelens averages 4.14 assists per set.
 
Cristina Hegarty leads the Eagles and is fifth in the conference with 4.39 digs per game and records 290 of the team's 929 digs this season.
 
The Beacons are 1-5 at home this season and 13-8 overall with a 5-7 conference mark. NCU has won two of its last three matches and two weeks ago, pushed No. 7 Corban to a fifth set. Claire Salness leads the team with 2.77 kills per game, and Makenna Northern averages 9.23 assists. Natalie Downs averages 1.03 blocks and Kayla Olson 4.58 digs per set.
