HOW IT HAPPENED
Set 1
A&M-Commerce came out and played a great first set as far as controlling the momentum inside of The Field House. Despite the seven attack errors for the Lions in comparison to the three committed by the Lady Buffs, The Lions ended with a .214 hitting percentage with help from Veronika Baric and Taryn Driver who both tallied five kills in the first set. Middles Jaslyn Wacker and Sydney Reyes also contributed to the party with three kills each and three blocks total. The Lions went on to win the first set 25-19.
Set 2
Although the second set score indicates a close set, The Lions really made their presence known on the offensive side of the net. The Lady Buffs had no answer for the outside dual attack of Veronika Baric and Summer Alford who totaled seven and six kills respectively. The Lions led the entire set and not one tie was recorded. When the second set seemed to be at its tightest with a score of 24-23, Baric came through with a kill to win the set 25-23.
Set 3
The Lions jumped out to an 18-9 lead out of the locker room and looked as if they were cruising to another home sweep. But the Lady Buffs refused to lie down and went on a four-point run to get back into the set. At a score of 19-14, the Lions reclaimed the momentum once and for all after three straight points which consisted of a kill by Courtney Tate, an ace by Ashley Mireles, and another kill by Veronika Baric. The Lions went on to win the third set 25-18, which was their biggest margin of victory in the match. Baric led the way with another seven-point set to help lift the Lions over the Lady Buffs in three sets. The two teams only tied once in this at 1-1. After that point, the Lions gained and kept the lead for the remainder of the set.
