Kansas City volleyball secured a spot in the Summit League Championship by splitting a pair of five-set road matches in North Dakota. The Roos fell to North Dakota State after leading two sets to none, then rallied past North Dakota to clinch their postseason berth and complete a season sweep of the Fighting Hawks.

By the Numbers
  • Kansas City is 11-11 overall and 5-5 in Summit League play.
  • Emry Brown and Ryanne Wattree each recorded 33 kills across the two matches.
  • Chloe Kaminski had 53 digs over 10 sets.
Yes, But

The berth is secured, but the North Dakota State loss showed how narrow the margins can be: Kansas City held late leads in both the fourth and fifth sets before the Bison rallied.

State of Play
  • The Roos closed the trip with a 3-2 win over North Dakota, scoring the final four points of the deciding set.
  • Kansas City returns home to host South Dakota on Nov. 5 and South Dakota State on Nov. 7.
Bottom Line

Kansas City has clinched its postseason place, but finishing tight matches will matter as it builds momentum toward the Summit League Championship.
