Dixie State closed its quick two-match RMAC road trip with a 3-1 victory over Chadron State on Saturday night in the Chicoine Center.

After the two sides traded 25-17 set wins to open the match, the Eagles built a 21-17 lead to take command of the third frame. However the Trailblazers would rally, outscoring CSC (12-6/6-4 RMAC) 8-2 to close out the stanza and take a 2-1 lead in the match with a 25-23 set victory.

DSU (13-6/8-3 RMAC) looked as if it was well on its way to a match-clinching win in set four as the Blazers scored the first seven points, but the Eagles returned the favor from set three, erasing the deficit with a 14-6 spurt to race to a 14-13 advantage. Dixie State came right back with a 9-2 run to reclaim the lead at 22-16 and never looked back as it clinched the match with a 25-18 win.

Seniors To'a Faleao and Lauren Gammell led the Blazer charge as the duo combined for 25 of DSU's 51 total kills on the night. Faleao threw down a match-high 13 kills to go with a career-high tying four aces and 17 digs, while Gammell connected for 12 kills with a .379 hitting percentage and tallied four total blocks (1 solo).

Junior Megan Treanor just missed her third triple-double of the season as she finished with nine kills, 17 assists and 11 digs. Treanor also collected four total blocks (1 solo), and junior Jordyn Nelson recorded a double-double with a match-high 24 assists and 10 digs.

DSU hit .159 for the match with 51 kills, while the Trailblazers held Chadron to a .091 clip and 43 kills, thanks to 73 digs and eight total team blocks.

Dixie State returns home for its final homestand of the 2019 regular season next weekend, which begins with a pair of Homecoming Week matches against Western Colorado on Friday, Oct. 25, and Colorado Mesa on Saturday, Oct. 26. Both matches are slated to start at 6 p.m., inside the DSU SAC.
