PIONEERS ON THE ROAD

• A LOOK AT THE ROADRUNNERS: MSU Denver has had a successful season, as they have won 27 out of the 29 matches they've played so far. After winning three consecutive matches in the RMAC Tournament, they won the tournament title. Each match was won following three sets, as outside hitter Riley Anderson was named Most Valuable Player in the tournament. After moving up one position - No. 3 - in the AVCA Division II Top 25 Poll, the Roadrunners will face off against TWU in the NCAA Tournament. 
• A LOOK AT THE PIONEERS: The Pioneers have had an extremely successful and historic season. From having the longest winning streak since 2006 in program history to entering the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2015, the Pioneers are ready to continue the historical run. With Malia Viernes selected to the All-Tournament team, the Pioneers will go into their first round match strong and prepared to face the Roadrunners. 
• HISTORY IN THE MAKING:  TWU and MSU Denver have only played each other a total of five times with the Pioneers falling each time; however, the Pioneers and the Roadrunners haven't played each other in 26 years. As they meet for only the sixth time in the NCAA Tournament, this match will mark a historic battle for the Pioneers.
