The Seawolves' defeat of the Seattle Pacific University Falcons — which ended 3-1 on Nov. 22 — secured the team its fifth GNAC title as part of a four-way tie. The title is shared with Simon Fraser University, Central Washington University and University of Alaska Fairbanks. 

The Seawolves hit the first set hard, quickly amassing a 15-2 lead before the Falcons rallied back to end the set 25-17. The Seawolves seemed to be running out of steam, when in the second set, they traded points against the Falcons, barely holding the lead to finish the set 25-23. The Falcons rallied back in the third set, quickly getting a 6-0 lead over the Seawolves who rallied back, but lost the set 26-24. The loss of the third set rallied the Seawolves, who dominated the fourth set with a 25-15 victory. The Seawolves ended the season 23-5 overall and 14-4 in the GNAC.

As part of their final regular season game, the Seawolves honored the three seniors on the team, Tia Allen, Madison Galloway and Avery Northcutt, who made their last regular season appearance as Seawolves.
