The Miles Community College opened up its MonDak Conference season with an exciting 4-set win over Dawson that was also the home opener for the Pioneers. In a match that could have gone either way, the Pioneers outlasted the visiting Buccaneers 25-21, 25-23, 23-25, 25-23 to go 1-0 in MonDak play and 1-3 overall. 

Olivia Easton (Billings, Montana) dominated the net with 19 kills on the night. Libero Matilda Dietz (Manhattan, Montana) picked up 29 digs, Celsa Castro (Roundup, Montana) had 23 assists, and freshman Jacey Rowland (Weyburn, Saskatchewan) had 5 kills for the match. 

The two teams will battle again tomorrow in Glendive in the back side of the back to back at 7:00 PM.
