The Seawolves men’s basketball team opened the 2024-25 season with a home win, 80-55, at the Alaska Airlines Center in a game against the Warner Pacific University Knights on Oct. 25. While this matchup and the follow up on Saturday Oct. 26, will count toward UAA’s NCAA seasonal record, it is only an exhibition matchup for the Knights who are part of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics — shortened to NAIA. UAA and WPU have only faced off once before, when UAA was part of the NAIA nearly 50 years ago.
