The Seawolves women’s basketball team won its season debut at home against the Northwest University Eagles on Nov. 7, 107-82. The team is almost completely new this season, including a new head coach, Matt Thune. Only Elaina Mack returned after last season's GNAC title win. Mylee Anderson, a freshman from Wasilla, Alaska, and Mahaila Harrison, a sophomore from Vancouver, Washington, both crashed onto the scene. Each scored 23 points in their first appearance as Seawolves. Mack came back with 17 points and a career high of 9 rebounds.  

The UAA Dance and Cheer team came out to perform during halftime with young dancers from the Fairview Recreational Center.
