After a successful first weekend of tournament play to open the 2026 season, the Dodge City volleyball team stepped on the court at home for the first time this season and opened Jayhawk Conference play, earning a three-set sweep of Pratt.

The Conqs opened the second set with a 3-0 run, but Pratt kept close until the Conqs went on a run behind the performance of Dora Csanyi, leading to a 25-13 second set. Conqs jumped ahead early in the third set, working to an 18-8 lead and cruising to the sweep with a 25-11 third set.
