COLLEGE VOLLEYBALL: Vikings roll in showdown with SPU

So much for an epic clash of NCAA Division II volleyball titans.

The only real question left after a nearly flawless performance against Seattle Pacific University is just how high Western Washington University will climb when the next national rankings are released.

The No. 17 Vikings stunned No. 12 SPU on Saturday, Oct. 9, sweeping the undefeated Falcons 25-22, 25-23, 25-18 in a Great Northwest Athletic Conference showdown at Carver Gym. The win gives Western a share of the conference lead and puts them in the driver's seat moving forward at the halfway point of the GNAC season.
