ANCHORAGE, Alaska – Down 24-18 in the third set and facing a 0-2 set deficit, the Montana State University Billings volleyball team fought to keep their Great Northwest Athletic Conference match against the University of Alaska Anchorage Seawolves alive with three straight points. However, the late rally would not be enough as the Yellowjackets dropped their second road match in a row 3-0 (19-25, 14-25, 21-25) to the Seawolves inside Wells Fargo Sports Complex Saturday night.
 
After the loss, MSUB finds itself 8-7 overall and 2-4 in GNAC play while UAA is now 10-5 and 6-1 in the league.
 
“Once again we just did not play well on the road,” said head coach Steve Smith. “We just couldn't get anything going early, and when we finally did start to get rolling, it was too little too late. We'll just have to hope heading home will help.”
