COMMERCE, Texas- The Stephen F. Austin volleyball program began their conference tournament run against the No. 8 seeded East Texas A&M Lions.

The first set was tightly contested as neither team held more than a three-point lead until the Lions went on a four-point run to take a 22-19 lead late in the first set. ETAMU held a 24-20 lead before SFA went on an incredible five-point run to get the first set to extras, 25-24. A kill from Izabella Ortiz followed by an attack error from the Lions secured a 27-25 first set victory.

In the second set, both teams were very successful in siding out before SFA went on a 11-1 scoring run to take a commanding 16-7 lead. The 'Jacks continued to grow their lead and secured a 25-15 second set victory off a kill from Camryn Hill.

SFA took an early 9-5 lead off back-to-back kills from Hill and Ilana de Assis. Three straight kills from the 'Jacks gave them a 15-8 lead.
