Dixie State pushed its winning streak to nine-straight matches and remained perfect atop Pacific West Conference standings after the Trailblazers swept away Azusa Pacific in three sets Saturday afternoon at the DSU Student Activities Center (SAC). The victory was also DSU's 100th PacWest win (100-59).

Dixie State (11-4/7-0 PacWest) scored seven of the first eight points of the opening set and held a 15-9 lead midway through the stanza. APU (7-10/3-5 PacWest) would rattle off four-straight points to close the deficit to 15-13, but the Trailblazers responded with a 10-3 spurt to win the set 25-16 to go up 1-0 in the match.

APU came out aggressive early in set two and raced to an 11-6 lead and was in the driver's seat at 18-15. DSU would again put together another run as the Trailblazers scored 10 of the final 13 points of the stanza en route to a 25-21 victory and a commanding two-set lead. Dixie State never trailed in the decisive third stanza and led by as many as nine points late in the frame before closing out the match with a 25-17 set win.

Eight of DSU's 11 players who saw time in the match registered at least one kill, led by senior outside hitter Delayne Daniel (Pleasant Grove, Utah/Pleaseant Grove HS) who connected for a match-high 10 kills. Daniel also posted her eighth double-double of the year with a team-high 10 digs.

DSU hit .244 in the match, including a .308 clip in set one. Dixie State's defense held APU to a .090 hitting percentage, thanks to 43 digs and 10 total team blocks. Senior middle blocker Lindsay Garrett (St. George, Utah/Desert Hills HS) finished with six total blocks (one solo block) to go with five kills, while sophomore OH Taylor Duryea (Logan, Utah/Sky View HS) had one solo block and four total stops and finished with six kills.

Dixie State will now head out on its annual Hawaiian road swing next week, starting with its final road match ever at BYU-Hawaii on Friday, Oct. 14. DSU will also play at Hawai'i Pacific on Saturday, Oct. 15, and at Hawai'i Hilo on Monday, Oct. 17.
