Nicole Ball and Delaney Nicoll combined for 36 kills between the two matches, while Alaina Lacey held it down on the defensive end with 31 digs.

Scouting The Opposition

The Vikings enter Thursday's match one game over .500 with a 7-6 record that included non-conference wins over Santa Clara, Grand Canyon, Gonzaga, and North Dakota State twice. Portland State opened Big Sky play over this past week with a victory over Idaho State and loss to Weber State.

Sacramento State went 5-5 during its non-conference slate, while wrapping up the opening week of conference play with losses to both Idaho State and Weber State.
