KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The North Dakota State volleyball team earned its fourth straight sweep after topping Kansas City, 3-0, on Thursday night at Swinney Center.

The two teams battled through the opening frame that saw 16 tie scores and four lead changes. After Kansas City (16-6, 7-3 Summit) opened up a 23-18 edge, the Bison responded with five straight points to lock the frame, 23-23, following a kill from Alexis Boling. Both teams then exchanged points to find themselves locked, 35-35, after Sydney Henry delivered a kill. The Bison answered with back-to-back points after a kill from Lauren Jansen and an ace from Johnson to win the set, 37-35.
NDSU carried the momentum into the second set running out to 8-2 lead following a kill from Jansen. The Bison then increased their advantage to 14-5 after two straight kills from Hinze. NDSU, who posted a match-best .500 hitting percentage in the set, went on to win the second frame, 25-18.
Kansas City fought back in the third set grabbing a late 19-17 edge after an attack error. NDSU stormed back with five unanswered points to steal a 22-19 lead following a kill from Jansen. The Roos made one final surge with a 5-0 run of their own to regain the lead, 24-22, after an attack error.
