Turning Point
In the second set, The Lions realed off four consecutive points after a Mustang push in an attempt to tie the set at one game each.

These events guided the Lions to a set win, voiding comeback attempt for the Mustangs.

HOW IT HAPPENED
Set 1 
Despite a hitting percentage of .059, the Lions won the first set in the D.L. Ligon Coliseum 25-18 against the Midwestern State Mustangs. The difference maker in this set was the two ball handling errors by the Mustangs. The last ball handling error won the set for the Lions.

Summer Alford found the floor later in the set for a big kill that put the Lions up 15-9 however the Mustangs refused to lay down. The Mustangs battled back to cut the lead down to one at 20-19. The Lions then committed 4 consecutive errors three being from attacking and one ball handling error. The Lions regrouped and fired off three points to shift the momentum away from the Mustangs. The Lions won set two 25-23.
