ANCHORAGE (Oct. 4) - Powered by the hot outside hitting of seniors Heather Riter and Vanessa Tsukano, the University of Alaska Anchorage volleyball team posted its second straight win tonight at the Sports Center, 15-11, 15-5, 15-12 over Hawaii-Hilo.

Riter had eight of her match-high 15 kills in the third game and Tsukano had 11 kills and 15 digs to post her team-best ninth double-double of the season for UAA (9-13, 5-1 Pac West). The Seawolves held the Vulcans (4-9, 0-5) to just .069 hitting and no Hilo players reached double figures in kills.

The three-game sweep was just the second such win for the Seawolves this season. UAA has won five of its last eight matches after beginning the year 4-10.

Cami Gardner also had a standout performance for the Seawolves with 10 kills, six blocks and seven digs.

UAA continues its grueling week with a road trip to take on Northwest Nazarene in Nampa, Idaho, on Friday night and Seattle University on Saturday. The Seawolves return home Oct. 13-14 to play Seattle Pacific and Western Washington.
