ANCHORAGE – Senior outside hitter Lee Ivakina blasted 21 kills and made 15 digs Saturday to lead the Alaska Anchorage volleyball team to a 23-25, 25-15, 25-14, 25-21 victory over the Seawolf Alumni in an exhibition match at the Alaska Airlines Center.

In their first action under new head coach Morgan Hooe, the current Seawolves also got six kills and 18 digs from newcomer Kyana Gabriel, along with six kills apiece from veterans Bella Burney (6-0-16, .375) and Emma Beck (6-0-14, .429).

The alumni were led by nine kills from Maureen Sabado (2012-14) and eight kills from Bethany Tuchardt (2023-24), while former All-American Ellen Floyd (2018-22) nearly reprised her triple-double from last year's match with six kills, 13 digs and 13 assists.

A returning All-Great Northwest Athletic Conference selection, Ivakina hit .333 (21-5-48) and equaled junior setter Hannah Trotter with a match-best four aces. Trotter also had a match-high 32 assists as UAA hit .307 over the final two sets.

Martina Riba and Trinity Byrne tallied five kills apiece, and senior Elena Hansen had 10 digs for UAA, which opens the regular season Thursday (3 pm ADT) with a match against Chaminade in Hilo, Hawaii.
