Inside the Box Score
A 5-2 run to close out the second set and take a 2-0 advantage in the match
1st Set
Denver made its move right from the start, taking a 10-3 run early, highlighted by multiple aces by Bartalo. The Pioneers pushed that lead to double digits and never looked back, cruising to a 25-11 set victory.
2nd Set
DU used a big run midway through the second set to fight itself back into the set, taking the lead at 17-17 after an attack error by the Jackrabbits. Denver picked up the next two but SDSU tied it at 20-20. The Pioneers, though, showed up and delivered in the clutch, using a 5-2 run to close out the set to take a commanding 2-0 lead.

Both teams traded points to start the set. South Dakota State got up 12-10 but Denver reeled the lead back to 12-12 after an attack error from the Jackrabbits. The Pioneers went up 16-15 after a big kill from Hailey Green, part of a 7-0 run. DU sealed the match on a kill from Brianna Green.
