Dixie State won its fourth-straight and its third-in-a-row on its current homestand Friday night as the Trailblazers posted a straight-set win over New Mexico Highlands inside the DSU SAC. The Blazers have won eight of their last nine overall to improve to 16-6 on the season, 11-3 in RMAC play.

DSU led wire-to-wire in taking set one, 25-20, but came out a little flat in the second frame and trailed 8-4 in the early going. However the Trailblazers battled back to square the set at 9-9, then rattled off a decisive 16-6 run en route to a 25-15 set win to go up 2-0 in the match.

The Cowgirls (1-21/0-14 RMAC) bolted out to another quick lead in the third stanza, scoring eight of the first nine points to race to an 8-1 advantage. Again the Trailblazers would rally, outscoring NMHU 11-4 to pull even at 12-12, and would close the match with a 13-6 spurt to claim the set, 25-18.

Dixie State hit a season-high .410 for the match with 42 kills and just eight attack errors. Junior Megan Treanor led the Blazers with nine kills, 17 assists and three aces, while senior Lauren Gammell tallied eight kills with three block assists, including her 400^th-career total block in the second set.
