Bellingham, WASports

The Seattle Seahawks are poised to sign veteran safety Quandre Diggs to their practice squad as they seek to bolster their secondary amid injuries to key players. Diggs, a three-time Pro Bowler, previously played for the Seahawks before joining the Tennessee Titans, where he made 12 starts. With starting safety Julian Love eligible to return from injured reserve but uncertain about his timeline, Diggs's experience will be crucial. In the NFL, the San Francisco 49ers improved their record to 8-4 with a 20-9 victory against the Carolina Panthers, putting pressure on the Seahawks in the NFC West. Gonzaga's men's basketball team triumphed over 8th-ranked Alabama 95-85, enhancing their season record to 6-0 and solidifying their position in the AP poll.

Additionally, the Western Washington University Vikings volleyball team secured a place in the national tournament as the No. 6 seed in the West Region. They will face 3rd-seeded Fresno Pacific University in their opening match on December 4. In women's soccer, Morgan Manalili made history as the first Viking to earn the D-II CCA West Region Player of the Year award.
