BELLINGHAM — The Seattle Pacific volleyball team got an early jump on fourth-ranked Western Washington, taking the first game, but the Vikings came back to take the next three for a four-game Great Northwest Athletic Conference victory on Thursday night
Game scores were 21-25, 25-21, 25-21, 25-22.
The Falcons (3-11, 1-4) led by three points midway through both the second and third games. But they were unable to prevent Western Washington (12-0, 4-0) from winning its 20th straight conference match and 33rd in its last 34 GNAC contests.
Nikki Finley and Lindsey Wodrich had 18 kills apiece to lead the Falcons. Joelle Perez had 28 assists, and Courtney Weedman earned 25 assists.
Western Washington was led by Angie Alvord's 22 kills. Kari Rice had 43 assists, Allison Gotz had 31 digs, and Emily Jepsen racked up four blocks.

Gonzaga opened its West Coast Conference season with a 25-22, 25-18, 25-14 loss to host San Diego. The Bulldogs (6-10) got nine kills from Elaina Renius and 24 assists from Denise Van de Mortel.
• Eastern Washington dropped a 25-22, 25-17, 25-16 decision to Northern Colorado in Greeley, Colo. Alysha Cook led the Eagles (9-3, 3-12 Big Sky) with 10 kills, and Ashley Hamilton had 17 assists and two blocks.
Note
• Kent Brown of Colville carded a final-round 1-under-par 70 to squeeze out a one-stroke victory in the 22nd WSGA Senior Men's Amateur Championship, while Yakima's Troy Wilmoth hung on to win the inaugural WSGA Super Senior Men's Amateur. Both championships were hosted by Oakbrook Golf and Country Club in Lakewood.
Ed Jonson of Bainbridge Island finished runner-up to Brown after carding a final-round 69, followed by Michael Jonson of Seattle.
Wilmoth, who shot a final-round 77, holed a 12-foot putt on the 18th hole to hold off Bruce Richards of Seattle by one stroke.
