DENVER, CO -- Oct. 6 -- Westminster volleyball was in Denver on Saturday playing against The MSU Denver Roadrunners.  The Griffins (5-11, 2-6 RMAC) started the match flat while MSU (10-6, 7-1 RMAC), on a 6 game win streak, came out on fire.  Losing early sets is always difficult. MSU won the match 3-0.

The Griffin's third set performance was better but it wasn't enough to beat the Roadrunners who would win the final set 25-21 and win the match 3-0.  The Griffins improved their hitting percentage to .222 and had 13 kills, 12 digs, and only 5 errors in the third set.  Head Coach Al Givens reflected on the match and said, "It's a combination of us being really flat and Metro being on fire."
