The Seawolves women’s basketball team has guaranteed they’ll end the season with at least a tie for the 2024-25 GNAC title, defeating the Seattle Pacific University Falcons 99-51 on Feb. 22. If the Seawolves win one of their two remaining regular-season games or Montana State Billings loses one of their remaining games, the GNAC title will belong solely to the Seawolves. This capped off a great season for the Seawolves, who broke or tied numerous records throughout the season, both as individual players and as a team. The Seawolves are currently 24-3 overall and 15-1 for GNAC.

This was especially meaningful to the four UAA seniors who played for their last time at home. Ja’Niah Alexander, Emilia Long, Jazzpher Evans and Tori Hollingshead were all honored before the start of their last regular-season home game as Seawolves.
