PENSACOLA, Fla., – A second straight Gulf South Conference loss eliminated any chance the University of North Alabama volleyball team had of receiving a first-round bye in the upcoming GSC tournament. West Florida's 25-18, 25-13, 27-25 home victory over the Lions on Saturday left UNA with a 13-6 conference record and a fourth-place position in the league standings.

UNA (17-11 overall) will close out the regular season Tuesday at West Alabama. A win over the Tigers would lock up a home match in the opening round of the GSC tourney as either the No. 3 or the No. 4 seed.

On Saturday, West Florida's Katy Kuhlmeier was dominant, recording a .379 hitting percentage with a match-high 14 kills. As a team, the Argonauts (21-6 overall, 14-3 GSC) had 44 kills with a .291 hitting percentage.
