Dixie State picked up its second Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference sweep in as many nights as the Trailblazers claimed 3-0 result at Black Hills State Saturday night inside the BHSU Young Center.

The Trailblazers (7-2/2-0 RMAC) trailed for most of the opening set and was faced with an 18-13 deficit after consecutive hitting errors led to a DSU timeout. That break served the Blazers well as Dixie State rattled off an 9-2 run to vault to a 22-20 advantage. BHSU (3-6/0-2 RMAC) managed to pull even at 22-22, but the Trailblazers scored three of the final four points, with senior Shannon Sorensen (Smithfield, Utah/Sky View HS) capping the rally with a kill to clinch the set, 25-23.

Dixie State managed to outlast BHSU in a hard-fought second stanza, 26-24, and went on to close out the match with a 25-21 triumph in the decisive third set.

Junior To'a Faleao-Baich (Lehi, Utah/Lehi HS) tallied a game-high 13 kills with four total blocks to lead DSU, while Sorensen, senior Hannah Doonan (San Dimas, Calif./San Dimas HS) and sophomore Megan Treanor (Salem, Utah/Salem Hills HS) finished with seven kills apiece. The Trailblazers hit .094 for the match with 40 kills, while DSU held the Yellow Jackets to a .076 clip, with Sorensen and senior Malary Marshall (Hurricane, Utah/Hurricane HS) collecting a game-high six blocks, and junior Lauren Gammell (Spanish Fork, Utah/Spanish Fork HS) adding four total blocks with two solo stops.

Dixie State opens a four-match RMAC homestand next weekend vs. Western State Colorado on Friday, Sept. 14, followed by a match-up against Colorado Mesa on Saturday, Sept. 15.
