SAN ANTONIO, Texas - The University of Dallas volleyball team held off Schreiner University on Sunday afternoon 25-19, 25-17, 25-12 for the straight-set sweep. The Crusaders (17-10, 6-6 SCAC) will look to add to its conference win total tomorrow in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) crossover tournament held at Trinity University.

UD came out of the gates with a 8-1 lead in set one. Schreiner University (2-23, 1-10 SCAC) came back to take six of the next eight points to cut into the Crusaders lead (10-7).

Abigail Porras (El Paso, Texas) and Dayjah Whyte (Round Rock, Texas) led Dallas down the stretch with key kills to take set one.

Dallas again grabbed the early lead (5-0) in set two. The Crusaders kept the lead, but Schreiner clawed back to get within two (12-10) after a Kylee Jo Scott kill. Schreiner kept close until Dallas grabbed some breathing room when they were able to go on a 3-0 run. Whyte had a kill along with two Schreiner errors (20-14). Porras took the final three points of the set with a kill and two service aces to secure the 2-0 set lead for UD.
