BELLINGHAM, Wash. – Western Washington University senior opposite Joellee Buckner recorded a 15-kill, 28-dig double-double and junior outside hitter Abby Phelps reached the 1,000-kill mark for her career to lead the No. 8-ranked Vikings to their 13th consecutive victory with a 3-1 win over Alaska Anchorage Thursday night in Great Northwest Athletic Conference action on WECU Court at Carver Gym.

Game scores were 25-13, 25-21, 23-25, 25-20 in favor of the Vikings, who remained in first place in the GNAC with a 14-1 league mark and reached the 20-win mark at 20-3 overall. WWU has now recorded six consecutive 20-win seasons. The four-set victory snapped a four-match losing streak against UAA in Bellingham, and marked the first season sweep of the Seawolves since 2012.

“I am really happy about this win, because it had been a while since we beat them at home,” said head coach Diane Flick-Williams, in her 18th year leading the program. “I really proud of the team for not only getting the win, but how we did a good job of being tough early and then battling back when we faced some uphill battles.”
