No. 4 BYU-Hawaii ends Red Storm win streak

Dixie State falls in straight sets in Laie

LAIE, Hawaii - For the first time in over a month, the Dixie State women's volleyball team lost a match, falling to No. 4 BYU-Hawaii in Laie in a 3-0 (25-13, 25-14, 25-18) sweep to snap a 10-match win streak.

The Red Storm (12-6, 9-1) had a slow start in the first two sets, hitting just .054, but regrouped to hit .250 in the final set. DSU's Edithza Urias (Bakersfield, CA/Golden Valley) and Maddie Rex (Tucson, AZ/Sabino) each had nine kills apiece. 

Dixie State got in a hole quick right out of the gates. The Seasiders built up an early 15-6 with strong net play. DSU connected three straight times to cut the lead down but the deficit was too much early and the Red Storm came up short 25-13 in the first set.

Set No. 2 was a similar story as Dixie State struggled to answer BYU-Hawaii's attack. Five straight from the Red Storm gave DSU some energy but even that wasn't enough. Dixie State dropped its second straight set, 25-14.

DSU stayed tough in the third set, trailing by just one point early. BYU-Hawaii went on a 4-0 spurt but the Storm answered back to keep the score at 12-9 Seasiders.

BYU-Hawaii pushed the lead back to eight points but the Red Storm continued to hang around, staying within four points at 21-17. Another run from the Seasiders was too much however, and Dixie State dropped the third set 25-18, falling in the match 3-0.

The Red Storm will look to get back on track at the University of Hawaii Hilo tomorrow night at 11 p.m. MT. Tropical Storm Ana poses a potential threat to the Islands, and possible changes to match times are possible. Please check dixieathletics.com for updates.
