Recap | Box Score

On Saturday, WWU completed sweeps of all nine of its regular-season home matches for the second time in three years with a three-set win over Simon Fraser at Sam Carver Gymnasium. It was the 14th straight home victory for the Vikings, who are 27-1 at Carver Gym since late in the 2009 campaign.

Two WWU seniors, outside hitter Marlayna Geary (Tacoma/Bellarmine) and setter Laurie Yearout (Spokane/Lewis & Clark), have surpassed or are nearing career milestones.

Against Simon Fraser, Geary became just the second Viking to reach 1,300 kills. She has 1,303 during her four-year tenure and needs 77 to break the school record of 1,379 held by Meghan Evoy (2001-04).

Yearout ranks fourth among WWU career leaders with 2,959 assists and is 41 away from 3,000.

Geary ranks eighth among Division II statistical leaders in points (4.90, 396.5) and 12th nationally in kills (4.26 per set, 345). She leads the GNAC in each category, and is third in service aces (32, 0.40), sixth in attack percentage (.306) and 15th in digs (2.95, 239).

Geary also has a GNAC-best 15 double-doubles in kills and digs.

Geary is one of three Vikings pacing the GNAC and ranked among the top 10 national leaders. The other two are Yearout, fifth in assists (12.00, 972); and sophomore libero Samantha Hutchinson (University Place/Curtis), sixth in digs (6.25, 506).

Sophomore middle blocker Kayla Erickson (Gig Harbor/Peninsula) is second among GNAC leaders in blocks (1.16, 92.0), third in kill percentage (.355), seventh in points (3.79, 299.5) and ninth in kills (3.11, 246).

Redshirt freshman Jennica McPherson (Seattle/Kennedy) is second in the league in aces (0.40, 31), and junior middle blocker Emily Boerger (Marysville/Marysville-Pilchuck) is seventh in kill percentage (.299).

WWU ranks sixth among the top 10 nationally and leads the GNAC in hitting percentage (.275). The Vikings, who are 17th in the country in kills per set (13.90), also top the league in kills (13.90), assists (13.26, 13th nationally) and digs (16.99).

Seattle Pacific is 13-12 overall and fifth in the GNAC at 10-6. The Falcons have won four of their last five matches and nine of their last 12 after a 4-9 start. SPU is led by Cailin Fellows, second among league leaders in both kills (3.99, 363) and points (4.29, 390.0), and Shelby Swanson, second in assists (10.73, 1,019).

WWU leads the series 38-25, having won the last two meetings after dropping four of five.

MSUB is 10-14 overall and 7-9 in conference play, dropping four of its last five matches. The Yellowjackets have never beaten WWU in 14 series meetings. The 20-win season is the eighth for WWU coach Diane Flick, who is in her 13th campaign (269-72) with the Vikings.

WWU has a winning percentage of .905 (114-12) at Carver Gym since going to a SportCourt surface in 2000 and is 229-78 (74.6 percent) overall.

NOTES: The Vikings were the preseason favorite in the GNAC Coaches' Poll ... Geary has twice been named GNAC Offensive Player of the Week this season. Hutchinson is a two-time Defensive POW and Erickson has earned Offensive and Defensive POW accolades, and Yearout was an Offensive POW one time ... WWU opened the season by being the only team to go undefeated at the Western Oregon Invitational, winning all four of its matches. The following week, the Vikings tied for the title at the Sonoma State Seawolf Spike Invitational, winning three of four matches. That performance earned them GNAC Team of the Week honors ... Geary was the MVP in both tournaments. Yearout earned all-tourney honors in both, and Hutchinson was all-tourney in the WOU Invitational ... WWU's highest national rating this season has been No.12 ... The Vikings three losses have all been on the road, 3-2 to No. 25 UC-San Diego on Sept. 7 that snapped a four-match victory string; 3-1 to Central Washington on Sept. 22 that ended a six-match winning streak, and 3-0 to Western Oregon that snapped a seven-match victory string.

VIKINGS ONE WIN AWAY FROM NCAA BERTH: Western Washington needs one win in its final two contests this week to wrap up the GNAC's automatic berth in the NCAA West Regionals.

If CWU finishes in a two-way with the Vikings, the Wildcats would also earn the automatic berth as long as Western Oregon finishes ahead of Seattle Pacific in the final standings. If WWU and WOU finish in a tie for second the Vikings would get the berth ... The NCAA will announce the playoff field Sunday night at 7 p.m. (PST) with a web cast at www.ncaa.com,
