The Seawolves (17-8, 12-5 GNAC) also got 26 assists and 12 digs from freshman setter Siobhan Johansen as they defended their No. 7 West Region ranking in their chase for the NCAA Tournament.
Kirstyn Druzianich had a match-high 12 kills for the Saints (2-21, 1-16 GNAC), who managed to take a set from the Seawolves for the first time since 2007.
Senior middle blocker Cortney Lundberg had eight kills and a match-high five block assists, while junior outside hitter Jackie Matthisen added eight kills and a career-high four aces. Juniors Lee Golden and McKenzie Moss finished with six kills apiece.
After struggling in their third-set loss, the Seawolves responded by out-hitting the visitors from Lacey, Wash., .441 to .000 in the fourth and final frame.
Freshman libero Quincy Haught lifted 18 digs - one shy of her career-best - and Moss made 15 digs and a pair of aces. Junior defensive specialist Nikkie Viotto delivered 14 digs and three aces.
The Seawolves conclude the regular season Saturday when they take on Western Oregon (14-8, 12-5) in a battle for third place in the final Great Northwest Athletic Conference standings. A UAA victory would avenge a September road loss to the Wolves and likely clinch UAA's second consecutive NCAA berth.
