Commerce, Texas – A&M-Commerce Volleyball (5-21, 3-11 LSC) looked to send their lone senior Amy Davault out in winning fashion on senior night. Despite Devault's stellar performance, registering 19 kills and 11 digs for her second consecutive double-double, the Lions were unable to knock off Texas A&M-Kingsville (17-10, 6-7 LSC), falling 3-1.
 
The Lions fell behind early in the first set 6-3 when a Taryn Driver kill sparked a 3-0 A&M-Commerce run that was capped off by a Delanee Clark and Chassidy Hill block to tie the match at six. However, a late 6-0 run by the Javelinas propelled Kingsville to a 25-14 set one win.
 
The second set was a very closely played match and featured 11 ties and five different lead changes. Davault and Driver gave the Lions a 12-9 lead with back-to-back kills. With A&M-Commerce trailing late in the match 20-19, Driver and Davault would again provide back-to- back kills to give the Lions a 21-20 lead. However, A&M-Commerce could not hold off the Javelinas, falling 25-23.
 
Davault took over in the third set recording eight kills out of her 19 total on the night. A Sydney Reyes and Shantel Norton block followed by an ace by Ashley Mireles gave the Lions a 14-8 lead. The Javelinas were able to pull within four points by bringing the score to 24-20, but Davault would slam the door shut with a game-clinching kill.
 
The Javelinas jumped all over the Lions in the fourth set, scoring 13 of the first 15 points en route to a set four win. Kingsville registered a sideout percentage of 91% in the set and committed just two attack errors.
 
Texas A&M-Kingsville had two girls pick up double-doubles against the Lions. Kelsey Washington led the way with a team-high 15 kills and 11 digs. Krystal Faison contributed 12 kills and 12 digs. Casey Klobedans assisted on a majority of the kills picking up a match-high 45 assists. Defensively, the Javelinas were led by a pair of middle blockers, as Stephanie Johns led the way with five total blocks and Anyssa Matheson added four blocks for Kingsville.
 
Courtney Tate led the charge, racking up 34 assists and recording two total blocks. Defensively, the Lions relied on both Mireles and Lacy Jessup. Jessup picked up a team-high 19 digs and Mireles added 18. Driver led the team with 3 total blocks.
