Paulyae Dawkins had 14 kills and hit .500.  Dawkins was impressive at the net with one solo block and six huge assist blocks. Sophia Ivy had 48 assists and nine digs. Brittany Stallaby had 13 digs and two serving aces. Nikki Almaguer had 19 digs.

The Lady Lions out-blocked SCU 12-2 and they had four players in double digits on digs.  It was after set two that Coach Moore made a big adjustment, “Haley Bowers and Nick came to me and said that we should switch Mollie and Kali. In sets 3-5 we played a line-up that we had never practiced. Kali stepped up and killed as an outside hitter. Mollie blocked their best player, Aliya Higginbotham,four times. That was the difference in the match.”

Aliya Higginbothan led the Lady Eagles with 23 kills and 18 digs. Cashlyn Munroe followed with 16 kills and 19 digs. SWC is now 5-5 in conference, 12-7 overall.

The Lady Lions will compete against St. Gregory’s University in Shawnee, Oklahoma at 2pm Saturday, October 14, 2017.&
