The WTAMU Lady Buff volleyball team played their last game of the regular season Saturday against the Angelo State Lady Rambelles.

ASU fought hard and put everything they had into the game, but it was not enough to beat the surging Lady Buffs.

In the first set there were nine ties and five lead changes.  Tied 16-16, ASU scored three consecutive points to go up 19-16 until Junior Keidra Williams put a stop to their rally with a kill. The turning point of the set came when WT was down 22-20.  Fresman Ashley Davis recorded her seventh kill of the set to give WT a 25-23 first set win.

WT came out quick in the second set to take a 3-0 lead.  WT held a 7-2 lead after ASU committed an attack error, which forced them to call timeout.  The Lady Buffs went on a 9-1 run to take a commanding 16-4 lead.  The Lady Rambelles never quite found their rhythm and lost the second set 25-14.

The third set started much like the first.  Both teams were trading points early as WT jumped to an early 13-10 lead. ASU made it a two point game  at 17-15, but never came any closer as the Lady Buffs finished the final set with an 8-4 run to win 25-19.

Junior Erika Dupree recorded her 20th double-double of the season with a match high 33 assists and 14 digs.  Senior Lauren Thedford led the Lady Buffs with 16 digs.

Sophomore Stormi Lancaster raecorded nine kills in the match.a
