A&M-Commerce volleyball downs ACU, 3-1

The Texas A&M University-Commerce volleyball team earned a first set victory for the first time in 10 matches, and then went on to defeat the Abilene Christian Wildcats, 25-23, 25-14, 18-25, 25-21, in Lone Star Conference action on Thursday night at the A&M-Commerce Field House.

The Lions jump to 13-7 overall and 5-2 in LSC play, while the Wildcats drop to 13-7 and 2-4 overall.

“We won game one," said Lions junior libero Lauren Flynn. “That’s a step for us.”

Despite falling behind early in recent matches, A&M-Commerce had bounced back to win eight, including four of its last five. But, the Lions broke the streak on Thursday and edged the Wildcats in set one with the help of four kills from Amy Addison and two apiece from Alyssa Oberle, Rachel Lance and Terra Ousley.

“I’m very pleased that we were able to win game one,” said Lions head volleyball coach Mark Pryor. “That shows we are working on things that need to be corrected.”

Addison recorded 15 kills and 13 assists. Oberle hit 12 kills, Morgan Ballard chipped in 10, Perla Faudoa collected 50 assists and Flynn added 27 digs to pace the Lions.

A&M-Commerce rolled through the second set after opening on a 7-0 spurt. Abilene Christian would only get within five points the rest of the set, as the Lions held the Wildcats to a .148 hitting percentage.

ACU attempted a comeback with a seven-point win in the third set, but the Lions rebounded in the fourth to snap a three-game losing skid to the Wildcats. A&M-Commerce has now won 10 of its last 13 games.

“We have six matches left, but we have to win a couple more to ensure that we qualify for the conference tournament,” said Pryor.

With the 13 wins, the Lions are in the middle of their best season since 2003, when the team won 15 matches.

Jennie Hutt led the Wildcats with a game-high 18 kills and 12 digs. Jordan Schilling tallied 12 kills and Michelle Bacon added 11 for ACU.

A&M-Commerce returns to the court on Friday with a 4 p.m. matchup against Angelo State at the A&M-Commerce Field House.
