Dodge City volleyball took on #9 Colby at home to continue Jayhawk Conference play and would go four sets for the second time this season with the Trojans, but ultimately fall 3-1 (23-25, 26-24, 16-25, 16-25) in the contest.
 
The loss sends the Conquistadors to 11-13 on the season and 5-7 in KJCCC action. 
 
After taking an early 3-1 lead to open the night, the Conqs saw Colby put together a 5-0 run to grab the lead in the first set, and the Trojans would grow the lead to 13-7, but a 4-0 run midway through the set cut into the deficit for the Conqs. The Conqs would tie it up at 22-22 on a Kayla Cantrill ace, but Colby finished off the set, taking it 25-23. In the second set, the Conqs had an early 5-0 run and would have control most of the set until late, when Colby tied it 23-23, but the Conqs responded to earn the second set win 26-24. Tight early in the third set, Colby started to take control when they led 10-8, then went up 16-9 and 20-11 on their way to taking the third set 25-16. The fourth set was like the third as Colby grabbed early control, going up 10-3 and working to the 25-16 fourth set, sending the Conqs to the fourth-set loss.
