Volleyball Team 2-1 in Last 3

The women’s volleyball team has been 2-1 in the past week in games against Lamar, McNeese St. and Missouri.

The Sugar Bears' (12-10) first game was against McNeese St. (6-16) last Wednesday at the Prince Center.  It took a two-set comback for UCA to clinch the game.  The Sugar Bears dominated the final set 15-4 while never losing the lead.  Lindsey Barron led the team with 17 kills and Beth Rogers led the team with 19 digs.

The game on Saturday against Lamar (7-16) in the Prince Center took four sets for the Sugar Bears to win.  The Sugar Bears looked to sweep in three sets before Lamar took the third set 25-22.  Scout Brooks led the team in kills with 23 and Jessica Nagy finished the game with a team-high 14 digs.

Yesterday's game against the Missouri Tigers (17-7) ended in a 3-0 set sweep by the Tigers.  The game, in Columbia, Mo., was close for the first two sets before the Tigers put the Sugar Bears away in the third set to win, 25-10.  Nagy had a game-high 12 kills and Cristin Curl led the team with 15 digs.  A key part of the loss for the Sugar Bears came in the error column. The Sugar Bears had 22 errors to the Tigers' eight.

Scout Brooks was named the Southland Conference offensive player of the week after a strong week with 33 kills and a .251 hitting percentage.  The NCAA Women's Volleyball RPI rankings came out today and the Sugar Bears were ranked 171. This was fourth among Southland Conference teams.

The Sugar Bears will play all three games on the road next week.  They will play against UAPB (4-18) tomorrow and Texas State(16-6) Saturday.
