KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The University of Denver volleyball team swept Kansas City (25-15, 25-9, 25-22) on Saturday afternoon in its regular-season finale. 

Reynolds led the Pioneers' offense with 12 kills and a .310 hitting percentages. Izabela Molina and Alicia Thibodeau each chipped in seven. Defensively, Maddie Winkler made 13 digs and Johnson and Perryman each added three blocks. 

HOW IT HAPPENED:
Set 1
Denver and Kansas City traded points early, but the Pioneers took control after an 8–5 lead fueled by three KC errors and an ace from Werger. Four straight Denver kills stretched the advantage to 14–7, and the Pios continued to ride their offensive momentum while capitalizing on additional Roos miscues. KC tried to close the gap with three straight points, but Perryman sealed the set with a cross-court kill for a 25–15 Denver win.

Set 2
Denver opened the second set strong, jumping out to a 6–2 lead before reeling off four straight points to make it 13–5. Back-to-back kills by Reynolds pushed the margin to 18–6, and the Pioneers dominated wire-to-wire, taking the set 25–9.

Set 3
The third set again began tightly contested, with KC edging ahead 10–7. Denver responded with three straight points to reclaim a 12–11 lead. From there, the Pios' front-row presence made the difference, outblocking the Roos 4–1 down the stretch to secure a 25–22 victory and the match sweep.
