Seawolves volleyball broke the NCAA Division II record for attendance at a regular season game with 4,388 fans at the Alaska Airlines Center despite the icy roads, breaking Nebraska-Kearney’s record from last year of 4,003 fans. Unfortunately, even the boisterous crowd was unable to rally the Seawolves to victory against the Nanooks, who took the match 3-0. This loss leaves Seawolves volleyball with 14 wins and 12 losses, with two regular season games remaining.
