Dixie State saw its three-match winning streak come to an end in a 3-0 sweep at the hands of visiting MSU Denver in a battle between two of the top teams in the RMAC Saturday afternoon inside at DSU SAC.
MSUD (12-6/8-2 RMAC) never trailed in opening a two-set lead, taking the first frame by a 25-20 count, before claiming a 25-21 win in set two. The Trailblazers (14-4/9-2 RMAC), who had rallied from an 0-2 deficit earlier this season in a road win at then-nationally ranked Northwest Nazarene (8/24), led 14-10 midway through the third stanza. However the Roadrunners would rally with 10-straight points as part of a decisive 15-4 run to close out the match, 25-18.
Dixie State was held to a season-low tying .094 attack percentage and a three-set, season-low 29 kills. Sophomore
Megan Treanor (Salem, Utah/Salem Hills HS) led the Blazers with eight kills to go with seven assists and three total blocks (one solo), while junior
To'a Faleao-Baich (Lehi, Utah/Lehi HS) tallied seven kills, two services aces, six digs and one solo stop.
DSU closes the road portion of its 2018 regular season schedule with a four-match swing, beginning with games next weekend at Colorado Mesa on Friday, Oct. 12, followed by a date at Western State Colorado on Saturday, Oct. 13.
