The No. 12 WTAMU Lady Buffs volleyball team traveled to Wichita Falls on Oct. 25 to face the Midwestern State Mustangs. WT dropped MSU in straight sets 25-22, 25-10 and 25-12, improving their record to 25-2 overall and 15-1 in the Lone Star Conference.

The Lady Buffs struggled through most of the first set. WT was able to keep MSU within striking distance at 19-20, however. The Lady Buffs got in rhythm to put an end to the first set with a 6-2 run.

WT dominated the second set going up 17-3. The Mustangs went on a brief 6-1 run to pull the score to 18-9. The Lady Buffs squashed the rally with a 7-1 run of their own to finish the set.

MSU built a 9-7 lead early in the third game, as they traded points with WT. The Lady Buffs, however, flexed their muscles by ending the set and the match with an 18-3 run.

“That was a good game because we did that to a good team,” Head Coach Jason Skoch said.

Junior Stormi Lancaster and sophomore Ashley Davis each registered 11 kills. Junior Sarah Martin also had 10 kills on the night. WT was led defensively by junior Lacy Hayes, who had 14 digs and 35 assists.
