BISMARCK, N.D. — The Bismarck State College Volleyball team dropped a three-set match to No.4 Providence (Mont.) on Friday evening, falling 25-16, 25-18, 25-18 in front of packed BSC Armory.

Chelsa Krom led BSC with eight kills on .389 hitting and finished with a team-high 10.5 points. Reese Duchsherer also added eight kills and nine points, while Dedra Wood chipped in five kills.

In the assists column, Delaney Deschamp led the team with 16 on the night. Defensively, libero Piper Harris anchored the back row with a match-high 19 digs, followed by Kate Zimmer with nine.

Providence (13-1, 6-0) spread its attack with five players recording at least four kills and finished with a .211 hitting percentage. Sadie Giles led the Argonauts with nine kills, while setter Bella Thompson tallied 28 assists, seven digs and two aces.
