Receiving a unanimous No.1 national ranking in last week s USA Today/ESPN/Women s Basketball Coaches Association NCAA II Top 25, the Seawolves are working on a school-record 20-game winning streak and are 16-0 at home this season. UAA s only loss was 70-65 in overtime to Lake Superior State in the championship game of the Disney East Coast Tipoff Classic. The Seawolves have won 20 straight home games, losing only one time in their last 50 contests at the Wells Fargo Sports Center, that being 78-77 to Seattle Pacific on Feb. 7, 2008. Last year, UAA finished 30-5, winning the West Regional crown and reaching the NCAA II Final Four. Leading the Seawolves is second-team DII Bulletin All-American 6-foot-2 senior center Rebecca Kielpinski (10.1 ppg, 8.4 rpg-2nd GNAC, 2.2 bpg-1st GNAC), who has been the GNAC Player of the Year the last two seasons. With three-year career numbers of 1,620 points and 1,085 rebounds, she already is the GNAC alltime leader in rebounds and needs three points to move into second place in scoring. With Kielpinski being the only returning starter, UAA coach Tom Moser (3rd year, 75-12), who has players from eight different states and four foreign countries on his roster, recruited six transfers. Leading that group are 5-9 junior guard Nicci Miller (11.7 ppg, 5.9 rpg) from Central Arizona College and 5-4 senior guard Jackie Thiel (7.1 ppg) from NCAA I Florida Gulf Coast. Thiel leads the nation in 3-point accuracy at 61.3 percent (49-of-80). UAA tops the GNAC in scoring margin (plus 23.3), scoring defense (45.3 avg.), rebounding margin (11.2), field-goal percentage defense (29.6) and 3-point pct. defense (24.9). The Seawolves rank among the top 10 nationally in five categories, leading in scoring defense and field-goal percentage defense, being second in rebounding margin and fourth in scoring margin and 3-point defense. Western holds a 22-6 series advantage, but has lost the last four meetings. Alaska Fairbanks is 5-13 overall (Feb. 12 host Central Washington) and 0-9 in league play, losing its last nine games, all conference counters, following a 5-4 start. In his first year directing the Nanooks is Darryl Smith (14th year overall, 239-145), who also coached eight years at NCAA II Metro State and five at NCAA I Wichita State. UAF returns two starters, 5-8 senior guard Sheena Brown (9.6 ppg), an honorable mention GNAC all-star and second-team Daktronics West Region pick last season, and 5-9 senior guard Cristina Bruketta (8.4 ppg). Another top returnee is 6-2 sophomore center Nicole Bozek (13.0 ppg, 8.8 rpg, 1.6 bpg-2nd GNAC). Smith picked up two talented transfers from Foothill Conference champion San Bernardino Valley - 5-5 junior guard Jordan La- Quita (13.9 ppg, 4.1 rpg, 3.1 apg) and 5-9 junior forward Ronisha Edwards (9.8 ppg, 7.8 rpg). Western leads the series, 29-5, splitting a pair of meetings last year. Montana State Billings is 11-9 overall (Feb. 12 at Saint Martin s, Feb. 14 at Western Oregon) and 5-4 in league action, coming within one point of nationally No.1-ranked Alaska Anchorage last week. The Yellowjacktets (5-4 at home) have lost four straight and seven of their last 11 after a 7-2 start.

The 88 points matched the most allowed by Western since the 2002-03 season. It was the Vikings fourth straight loss to NNU, but Western still holds a 12-8 advantage in the series overall.
