Simon Fraser University split a pair of Great Northwest conference women’s volleyball matches against team from Alaska.
The Clan posted its third conference win on Saturday, bettering the University of Alaska Fairbanks in straight sets at the West Gym on Burnaby Mountain.
Kelsey Robinson led SFU with 16 kills, while Brooklyn Gould-Bradbury recorded 12 assists and nine digs.
Tamara Nipp had a team-high 31 assists and Alanna Chan led the team with 10 digs in a 31-29, 25-20, 25-18 win.
“Once we won the battle in the first set the momentum was on our side,” said Robinson in a school press release. “We’ve just been working really hard on our defence and blocking all week and I think it paid off in this game.
The night before, conference-leading Alaska Anchorage downed SFU 3-0 in Burnaby.
Devon May and Mackenzie Dunham had nine and eight kills, respectively, to lead the Clan.
The outcome left the Clan in sixth place in the conference with a 3-5 record. SFU is currently 8-6 overall.
SFU will host last-place Montana State Billings on Thursday before Seattle Pacific arrives on Saturday for a key pre-playoff match-up. Both games are 7 p.m. starts.
