As Cameron University hit the ball over the net, Leah Lychock, defensive specialist and nursing junior, dove to the ground to keep the ball in play.

Throughout the game, Edwards and Eakin put up a wall to block several attempted points by Cameron University.

“The communication was really good. It was probably one of the best that its been,” Meghan Bettis, outside right hitter and psychology senior, said.

In the second set, Addison Semer, middle blocker and mass communication senior, made five points. At the beginning of the set, Bettis made a point to make the score 3-2.

Raven Presley, middle blocker and mechanical engineering freshman, and Eakin blocked Cameron University and made the score 19-9. The third set ended with a score of 25-14 and the volleyball team won.

“Serving was a big strength tonight, we served them out. They really didn’t attack us much, mostly because we served them out of system the whole time,” Head coach Natalie Burton said. “I don’t know if I could pick a weakness, I thought we played pretty solid all the way around.”

The volleyball team will play on Friday, Nov. 10 at 6 p.m. against Texas A&M Kingsville.
