LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - The University of Denver volleyball team (16-15, 11-6 SBC) fell 3-2 (19-25, 25-18, 25-18, 19-25, 15-12) on the road to the Arkansas-Little Rock Trojans (15-13, 9-8 SBC) on Friday evening in the Jack Stephens Center in Little Rock, Ark.

"We struggled tonight with execution," said head coach Beth Kuwata. "We had some great rallies and both Faimie and Emmy turned in a great performance tonight, it was just a little disappointing that we couldn't come away with a win."

Freshman Faimie Kingsley (Brooklyn, N.Y.) finished with career-high 16 kills, while senior Emmy Davidsmeyer (Colorado Springs, Colo.) added 16 kills and five blocks for the Pioneers. Also turning in strong performances was senior Alexis Ninos (Cypress, Texas) and Jordan Raines (Coppell, Texas) who finished with 14 and 10 kills, respectively.

Setter Kresson Vreeman (Raymond, Minn.) finished with 45 assists, while libero Kacie Wikierak (Crystal Lake, Ill.) finished with 12 digs. To go along with her 10 kills, Raines also contributed defensively for the Pioneers with 16 digs and three blocks.

Anita Bucur led the way for the Trojans with 20 kills and a .327 hitting percentage, while Becky Mann and Eva Chunyan added 16 and 12 kills, respectively.
