For only the second time this season the Dodge City Community College volleyball team has suffered back-to-back losses as the Conquistadors fell in four sets against Pratt 25-18, 17-25, 24-26, 18-25.
After a strong first set that the Conqs held a double-figure lead and won 25-18, it was Pratt that would hold the lead for most of the contest after that. Pratt went up 6-0 to start the second set and despite pushes by the Conqs to come back the hot start to the set allowed the Beavers to take the set 25-17. Set three was back-and-forth and the Conqs had set point late but Pratt fended offset point to snag the set 26-24. In the fourth set Pratt behind multiple aces took an early advantage and the Conqs were unable to come back falling 25-18 in the set and dropping the match in four sets.
The loss moves the Conqs to 11-6 on the season and 5-6 in KJCCC action.
