Mystics fall to Blue Hawks in four sets at home

Closely-battled match on Volley for the Way night sees DSU prevail.

BISMARCK, N.D. — Bismarck State put together one of its most competitive performances of the season but ultimately fell to Dickinson State, 3–1 (23-25, 21-25, 25-15, 24-26), Wednesday night at the BSC Armory. The near-capacity crowd, lathed in pink for Volley for the Way night, brought the energy for a tight match between the in-state rivals.

Setter Delaney Deschamp never came out of the game and dished out 39 assists and anchored the back row with 10 digs, while Piper Harris led the defense with 16 digs.

Despite a narrow edge in total attacks (155–148), the Mystics hit .135 to the Blue Hawks' .142 and came up just short in a tight fourth set that featured seven ties and four changes.
