Yes, But

Alaska Anchorage holds the historical edge, but its only previous wins over St. Thomas came in 1989. The Seawolves enter the series after two road losses, while their young roster has supplied most of the team’s scoring.

State of Play
  • Coach Eric Rud is in his first season leading Alaska Anchorage.
  • Joey Rocha has started the Seawolves’ last five games.
  • Senior Karter McNarland leads the team with six points; Jacob Terpstra and J.P. Steele have also contributed recent offense.
What’s Next

After facing St. Thomas, Alaska Anchorage remains in Minnesota to play at Minnesota on Nov. 13-14.

Bottom Line

The Seawolves’ road stretch puts pressure on a developing lineup to turn its production from younger players into wins, starting with a matchup against a team they have not faced in decades.
