The UAA volleyball team is back in the NCAA tournament.
The Seawolves on Monday received the No. 7 seed for the eight-team NCAA Division II West Region championships.
The tournament berth is the fifth straight and eighth in nine years since Chris Green became UAA's coach in 2008.
The Seawolves (19-10) will face longtime conference rival Western Washington (25-3) in a first-round match on Thursday, Nov. 30, in Riverside, California.
UAA lost twice to the Vikings this season in Great Northwest Athletic Conference play. Both matches went four sets.
Western Washington is the No. 2 seed behind Cal Baptist (28-0), the top seed and tournament host.
In other first-round games, No. 3 Northwest Nazarene (24-4) will play No. 6 Central Washington (19-9); Cal Baptist will face No. 8 Sonoma State (20-8); and No. 4 Cal State San Bernardino (21-7) will play No. 5 Azusa Pacific (22-6).
UAA is the defending West Region champion and last season's national runner-up.
The Seawolves were able to continue their postseason streak despite losing two starters who broke team rules earlier in the season and despite losing their regular-season finale last week.
The winner of the tournament will advance to the national quarterfinals Dec. 7-9 in Pensacola, Florida.
