Megan Treanor posted her second career triple-double to help lead Dixie State volleyball to a thrilling five-set victory over Colorado School of Mines Saturday afternoon inside the DSU SAC.

In a battle between two of the top teams in the RMAC, the match lived up to the billing as the two sides punched and counter-punched through five grueling sets that featured 21 total ties and nine lead changes. CSM drew first blood with a 25-21 win in the opening frame, but the Trailblazers (12-5/7-2 RMAC) answered right back by scoring 13 of the first 18 points in set two on their way to a 25-15 triumph to square the match at 1-1.

The Orediggers (13-4/6-3 RMAC) seemed to wrestle the momentum back to begin the third stanza, outscoring DSU 10-4 to take an early lead. Trailing 19-14, the Blazers roared back with a 9-3 run to pull ahead 23-22 after a Lauren Gammell kill. CSM scored the next point to draw even, but Gammell and Treanor connected on consecutive kills to lift DSU to a 25-23 set win and a 2-1 lead in the match.

Mines extended the match with a 25-20 win in the fourth frame, and the two sides traded points to open the decisive fifth set until DSU managed to take a 9-7 lead after an Oredigger attack error and a Miranda Ekblad service ace. Ekblad's next two serves led to back-to-back Gammell kills as the Blazers pushed the advantage to 12-7 and Dixie State did not look back from there as it closed out its fourth-straight win with a 15-11 set victory.

Treanor finished with a co-team high 17 kills with 17 assists and 13 digs, and added three aces and one block assist to her final stat line for good measure. Treanor recorded DSU's first triple-double in the program's NCAA era earlier this year in a win vs. Southwestern Oklahoma State (14K/18A/11D) back on Sept. 13.

Meanwhile To'a Faleao tallied 17 kills with 12 digs, four block assists and one ace, and Gammell wound up with 12 kills and six block assists. Jordyn Nelson also collected a double-double with 36 assists and 11 digs, and Mykenna Nelson had 20 digs.

Mines' Abby Tiesman just missed recording a triple-double of her own to lead the Orediggers as threw down a match-high 23 kills with 11 digs and nine total blocks (two solo).

Dixie State heads back out on the road next weekend for two important RMAC matches as teams begin jockeying for position for the upcoming RMAC tourney. DSU will face current RMAC leader MSU Denver on
