Dixie State saw its season-high three-match winning streak come to an end with a 3-1 loss at Notre Dame de Namur Wednesday night inside Gleason Gymnasium.

The Trailblazers (6-9/4-3 PacWest) succumbed to a pair of big NDNU (10-7/5-4 PacWest) runs in each of the first two sets to fall into an early 0-2 hole. The Argonauts opened the match with a 9-2 run on their way to a 25-21 win the first frame, then used a 14-5 spurt to turn a 10-7 DSU lead into a 21-15 NDNU advantage as the Argos claimed set two by a 25-20 count.

Dixie State clawed back into the match with a 25-20 victory in set three to cut the deficit to 2-1 and enjoyed an early 5-1 lead in the fourth stanza. However the Argos would rally to pull even at 10-10, then continued the run by scoring 10 of the next 12 points in the frame en route to a 25-17 set win to clinch the match.

Junior Kayla Chapman (Fullerton, Calif./Troy HS) paced the Trailblazers with a team-high 10 kills, while junior Hannah Doonan (San Dimas, Calif./San Dimas HS) and Lauren Gammell (Spanish Fork, Utah/Spanish Fork HS) each collected seven kills. Gammell also led the DSU defense with eight total blocks (one solo) as DSU finished with a 12 team blocks overall. In addition, three Trailblazers finished with double figures in digs, led by junior Sid Brandon (Bountiful, Utah/Bountiful HS) with a co-game high 20, while Doonan tallied 10, and freshman Jordyn Nelson (Phoenix, Ariz./Greenway HS) had 16 digs to go with 18 assists to record her fourth double-double of the year.

Dixie State continues its four-match Bay Area road swing Friday night with a date at Holy Names at 7 p.m. (MT). The match will be played in Dominican University's Conlan Center in San Rafael due to a campus closure at HNU due to poor air quality as a result of the northern California wildfires.
