A back-and-forth match just didn't see the bounces go Seattle U's way. Every set was within a point at the media timeout, with Dixie State's late runs making the difference. The Redhawks put together an 8-0 run in the third set after winning a review, only for Dixie State's responding 7-1 run tying it back up.
 
The Redhawks have two matches against California Baptist next week, first on the road on Thursday, October 14 at 7:00 pm. The two teams will then play at the Redhawk Center on Saturday, October 16 at 1:00 pm.

  • In home matches, Bartley has 29 kills and just four errors.
  • Sofia Sanchez has 27 digs in the last three matches.
  • This was Queiroz's fifth straight game with multiple blocks.
