ST. PAUL, Minn. -- The University of Denver volleyball team fell to St. Thomas (9-25, 25-22,19-25, 15-25) on Thursday night in Minnesota.
Three Pioneers hit over .300 in the loss: Genevieve Lewis, Alicia Thibodeau and Elise Hart.
Madison Winkler recorded 18 digs and Molina added two blocks.
HOW IT HAPPENED:
SET 1:

SET 2:
The Pioneers bounced back in set two with an early 5-1 lead, aided by back to back Tommie attacking errors. St. Thomas tied it up 12-12 and both teams battled back and forth before the Tommies took a 22-16 lead. The Pioneers took a 9-0 run with Ilayda Eren at the service line to come from behind and win the set, 25-22.
SET 3:
Denver once again took a quick 5-1 lead, but St. Thomas was quick to answer and tied the match, 5-5. Both teams traded kills before UST took a 10-7 lead and is ultimately able to extend it to 14-8. The Pioneers rallied to cut the deficit to one but ultimately dropped the set, 25-19.
