The WTAMU Lady Buffs swept both opponents over the weekend as they went on the road to face Cameron and Midwestern State. The scores were WT over Cameron 3-0 (25-18, 25-11, 25-16) and WT over Midwestern State 3-0 (30-28, 25-19, 25-19).

“Both opponents played very well. That made it more rewarding. Last night we played much better.” Lady Buffs Head Coach Jason Skoch said. “We moved well on offense and defense and we wanted to impress. Today we came in flat. Defense effort picked up mightily, but offense was not good.”

The leading scorer for both nights was senior Stormi Lancaster who had 11 kills each night. Junior Halie Harton had ten against Cameron and 11 against Midwestern State.

“Halie continues to get better on all areas. Stormi is stepping up offensively but she has got to make decision to step up defensively in the sets.” Skoch said. “Today we were able to pull away because of her blocking.”

The team as a whole played well on defense, with 59 digs against Cameron and 67 digs against Midwestern State. Lancaster had 15 digs in the match against Midwestern, while senior Lauren Beville had 11 digs. Beville led in digs against Cameron with 19 digs, while Harton had 15 digs.

“We have worked hard on defense. It was nice to see the transfer.” Skoch said.

The next stop for the Lady Buffs is to go on the road to face Eastern New Mexico University today.

The Lady Buffs return to The Box on Nov. 9 to host Texas A&M Kingsville and wrap up the regular season against Incarnate Word at The Box on Saturday, Nov. 10.

“We are going to do exactly what we did this past week. [Play] pure defense and then team offense.” Skoch said. “[We] need to work on blocking a little more and aggressive serving.”
