DC3 is now 21-14 and 6-9 in the KJCCC after sweeping the season series over the Beavers in convincing fashion.
"We hit well the first set, and played defense well in the second set" said head volleyball coach
Kamri Nehls in a postgame interview. "The third set we found a way to put both together and sweep Pratt in conference this year." We will be getting back at it tomorrow and put our focus towards Cloud County on Thursday."
