Despite the Seawolves strong start against the Nanooks on Oct. 31, they lost 3-1. The Seawolves took an early lead in the first set and held the Nanooks at bay, ending the set 25-17. The Nanooks rallied back in the second set, taking an early and daunting lead, scoring 10 unanswered points. 

While the Seawolves managed to close the gap, they failed to overtake Fairbanks, ending the second set 25-19. The Seawolves managed to keep sets 3 and 4 closer, but ultimately were unable to overcome Fairbanks. This leaves the Seawolves 17-5 overall and 8-4 in GNAC play.

After the match, the Seawolves took time to meet fans, sign autographs and hand out candy. The Seawolves next compete at the Alaska Airlines Center on Nov. 6 against Simon Frasier and then on Nov. 8 against Western Washington. The Nov. 8 date will also be alumni night.
