LAS VEGAS (Sept. 28, 2019) – Following a 3-0 victory at Southern Nevada on Saturday, the Snow College women's volleyball team improved to 20-2 on the season.

"It's always nice to start off the conference season with a win, especially on the road," Snow College head coach Jeff Reynolds said. "Southern Nevada is a team that always plays tough. They had a couple weeks off and we knew they'd be ready to come out and play. It was a nice way for our team to start the conference season."
Snow used a balanced offensive attack to down the Coyotes, led by sophomore
Andreanna McKee who connected on eight-of-18 attempts to hit .333. Freshman

th shutout of the season, and the eighth in the last nine games.
