Volleyball Falls in Four to A&M- Commerce

Silver City, N.M -- Mustang volleyball hosted the Lions of Texas A&M- Commerce tonight on Drag's Court, falling short in four-sets. 

The Lions came out swinging in the opening set, hitting an efficient .345 as a team. The Lions would lead the entire set, with the Mustangs struggling to find a rhythm committing multiple errors in the 25-15 set loss. 

The second set saw the Mustangs come alive, hitting .190 to the Lions -.073.The Lions would take the lead 4-1, before the Mustangs came back to tie it up on a Lion attack error, and kills by Sarai Migao (Temecula, CA/Chaparral High School) and Hannah Tishlarich (Elk Grove, CA/Pleasant Grove High School).

Commerce would go up again, before a five-point run gave Western a 10-8 lead. From there is was all Mustangs, as the maintained the lead all the way to a 25-14 set win. 

Set three was the most exciting of them all, with the teams trading points all the way through. It seemed to be in the bag for the lions going up 21-16, before three Lion attack errors and kills from Delaney Seitz (Hillsboro, OR/Century High School) and Erin Moss (Kailua, HI/University Laboratory School) brought Western back to tie the set at 21. A lion attack error would give the Mustangs a 23-22 advantage, before kills by Shelley Chapron and Jaryn Wacker and a Mustang ball handing error, gave the Lions the third set. 

The fourth and final set was all Lions as they rolled past the Mustangs 25-14. 

Erin Moss (Kailua, HI/University Laboratory School) led the way with 12 kills, followed by Delaney Seitz (Hillsboro, OR/Century High School) with six. Hannah Tishlarich (Elk Grove, CA/Pleasant Grove High School) finished the match with four blocks, while Sarah Campoli (Weatherford, TX/Azle High School) led all setters with 19 assists.
