OREM, Utah – Fresh off of a trip to Cedar City to face Southern Utah the other night, the Utah Valley University volleyball team will continue its road stretch at Seattle University on Saturday afternoon.
 
The Western Athletic Conference match will begin at 1 p.m. PT/2 p.m. MT and will be streamed live on the WAC Digital Network. Live stats for the contest will also be available by visiting GoSeattleU.com.
 
The Wolverines will enter the match 9-14 overall and currently tied for fourth with Seattle U in the league standings with identical 4-3 conference records. UVU previously defeated the Redhawks in the two team's earlier season meeting a month ago in Orem in five sets, but has recently dropped its last two matches. Utah Valley fell to Bakersfield in the full five sets in WAC action last Saturday before dropping a non-conference midweek contest in five sets at Southern Utah on Tuesday night.
 
Junior Lauren Bakker and sophomore Macky Treanor paced the Wolverines with 15 kills apiece in Tuesday's match while senior Kalani Norris chipped in nine. Treanor also added her second double-double of the season with a career-high 16 digs while senior Jen Hardman added her first double-double in a Wolverine uniform with 28 assists and 10 digs.
 
Bakker leads UVU on the season in kills (2.78 per set average), blocks (1.12), hitting percentage (.353) and points (286.5). Her .353 attack percentage is also good enough to lead the WAC, while senior McKenna Tait paces the league in service aces and ranks 18th nationally in that same category.
 
About Seattle U
The Redhawks are 8-12 overall and 4-3 in WAC play. SU will enter Saturday's contest having won four of its last six matches. Seattle U was picked to finish second in the WAC this season and will enter Saturday off of a four-set win over Grand Canyon at home last weekend.
 
Martina Samadan paces the Redhawks in kills (2.71), blocks (1.29) and hitting percentage (.345). Matea Mamic and Iris Ivanis are next for SU, averaging 2.63 and 2.31 kills per set respectively.
