Highlands Outlasts Rangers

LAS VEGAS, N.M. – The Regis University Women's Volleyball team dropped a road RMAC match to New Mexico Highlands University, 0-3 (23-25, 17-25, 19-25). The rangers fall to 1-14 (1-4 RMAC) on the year, while the Cowgirls improve to 6-9 (1-4 RMAC).

HOW IT HAPPENED

After trading points early, Isabella Smith's kill sparked a 5-0 run that included kills by Brooke Sanford, Sabrina Landman, and Aaliyah Rodrakkwan. After a solo block by Braiziah Dixon, Highlands began to chip away at the lead. Two kills by Kendal Allaire kept the Cowgirls at bay, but after a Dixon kill, NMHU scored six of the next seven points to tie the match at 19-19. Sanford put Regis in the lead, 23-22, but Highlands scored the final three points for the win.

Smith earned an ace early in the second, and the Rangers took a strong lead, 10-4, behind four aces from Rodrakkwan. However, after a Landman kill, the Cowgirls put together a run of their own, going up 18-12. Bailey Nichols' kill ended the run, and Smith and Sanford produced kills, but NMHU still took the second, 25-17.

Nichols' kill to start the third sparked another strong start to the third set, as Smith, Allaire, and Sanford helped Regis take an 8-2 lead. However, Highlands responded with another huge run, going up 11-9. Sanford and Dixon interrupted the run, but NMHU still pushed the lead to 18-12. Smith put down back-to-back kills, and Dixon aced a serve, but the Rangers still fell, 25-19.
