DENVER – The University of Denver volleyball team hits the road this week for a pair of West Coast Conference matchups, beginning Thursday, Nov. 12, against Loyola Marymount at 7 p.m. MT in Los Angeles.
The Pioneers enter the week at 12-12 overall and 5-7 in conference play after falling to San Diego in three sets on Nov. 7.
Denver has earned five conference victories in its inaugural WCC season, including sweeps of Pacific, Seattle and San Francisco, along with a five-set road win over Portland.
LMU enters Thursday's matchup with a 21-3 overall record and a 12-1 mark in conference play. The Lions have been one of the top teams in the WCC this season, with their only loss coming against Pepperdine.
The Lions edged Denver in five sets in the teams' first meeting of the season on Oct. 10 at Hamilton Gymnasium. Romi Chlebecek and Alicia Thibodeau led the Pioneers with 13 kills apiece, while Hailey Goebel added 12. Lily Van Hal recorded 34 assists to tie her career high, and Madison Winkler finished with 25 digs.
Denver forced a deciding fifth set with a 25-23 win in the fourth before LMU claimed the final frame, 15-13.
Denver will look to turn the tables in Thursday's rematch as it continues its push through the final stretch of the conference schedule.
