BEAUMONT, Texas -- The SFA Volleyball team got back on track in the win column on Saturday, dispatching WAC foe Lamar in four sets to improve to 13-4 overall and 4-1 in league play. SFA won by scores of 25-17,19-25, 25-18, 29-27 in the match.
SET ONE
The opening set saw the two teams engage in back and forth play up until the 'Jacks used a 7-2 run to pull ahead 18-11 in the set, capped off by kills from Valeria Rosado, Ielan Bradley and a service ace by Leah Powell. After Lamar closed the gap to just six, 21-15, SFA won four of the next six points to close out the 25-17 victory in the frame.
SET TWO
After falling behind by a set, the host Cardinals would ride a .350 hitting percentage and 18 kills to a second set victory, 25-19. Lamar took a 3-1 lead early and extended the lead midway through the set on the strength of an 13-5 run.
SET THREE
The third set saw SFA take an early 6-4 lead, which they then ceded to the hosts after a 4-1 run. SFA took the lead again, albeit for a short while as Lamar tied the set at 15 apiece minutes later. SFA's definitive run came late in the set, as they rattled off eight of the last nine points, capped off by kills from Taya Mitchell and Valeria Rosado, to win the set 25-18.
SET FOUR
SFA would jump out to a quick 3-1 lead in the decisive fourth set, only to have the hosts fight back and take the 5-3 lead. The set continued in much the same fashion, with SFA taking multiple leads on the strength of short runs, only to see the Cardinals close the gap and stay within striking distance. Eventually, SFA found itself with match point at 24-19, but surrendered six consecutive points to Lamar to fall behind 25-24. SFA would tie the set up at 25-25, and then won four of the next five points to close out the match, with a block by Kayla Grant and Powell sealing the deal.
