The Seawolves women's volleyball team defeated the Simon Fraser University Red Leafs 3-2 on Nov. 6. Despite several inches of snowfall, a small group of loyal Seawolf fans were in the stands. The Seawolves had a rough start at Thursday night's game. They quickly fell behind the Red Leafs after 6 unanswered points in the first set. Unable to catch up, they ended the set 25-19. 

The Red Leafs opened the second set in a similar manner, ending it 25-20 — leaving things looking bleak for the Seawolves. Sets three and four they rallied back tying the game 2-2. In the fifth set, the Seawolves quickly took the lead. While the Red Leafs started to close the gap, the Seawolves managed to pull off the win 3-2. This left them with an 18-5 overall record and 9-4 in the GNAC.
