Lawrence, KS- The Lady Pioneers snapped their 4-game losing streak with a quick 3-set sweep over Sisseton Wahpeton College in game one. Crowley's Ridge won the three consecutive sets in a dominant fashion as they handled the Mustangs with set scores of 25-12, 25-19, and 25-10. Emi Elms followed up her 15-kill performance against Baptist Bible College with a consecutive double-digit kill game by landing 10 more against the Mustangs. Jadyn Hesse's 17 and Jillian Glasgow's 10  assists set up the Pioneers offensive attack for success. Hannah Halverson led the back row with 15 digs but also played her part on the offensive side by serving up a whopping 8 service aces in the three-set sweep. 

In Game Two against CAC opponent Haskell University the Pioneers would have the roles reversed. The Fighting Indians handled the Pioneers with relative ease by defeating CRC with double-digit gaps in three consecutive sets. Haskell claimed the sets 25-15, 25-15, and 25-7. Paige Glenn led the Pioneers' attack with 5 kills in the short matchup. Glasgow followed up her 10-assist game one performance by leading the team with 7 in game two.
