The Lady Lions claw out a tough victory on the road

September 23, 2022 

Bethany, OK: Southwestern Christian University (SCU) hosted the Lady Lions volleyball team from Southwestern Assemblies of God University (SAGU). 

In a road game, the No. 10 SAGU Lady Lions would overcome the SCU Eagles, led by the star upperclassmen of the Lady Lions, who performed with composure and ferocity.

SAGU (15-0, 7-0) beat SCU (6-9, 1-6) in 4 sets, 25-15, 25-13, 19-25, 25-13

 

Lion Review

  • Despite letting the Eagles score first in the opening set, the Lady Lions promptly answered with a kill from Emma Tompkins with assistance from Riley Burcham.

  • In response to an SCU attack blunder, Emma Tompkins and Alexandra Bonnett would combine up to score a tandem block.

  • Riley Burcham would send the ball to Lilly Hanna, who would blast it for a Lady Lion kill.

  •  Madison Petten would later provide an assist to Riley Burcham so that she could score a kill of her own.

  • The opening set was concluded with a score from Ava Myers.

  • Karena Tipton would continue the Lady Lion onslaught with a kill early in the second set with assistance from Lindi Boling.

  • The second set finished with a stunning service ace from Emma Tompkins.

  • The Lady Lions made four errors to begin the third set.

  • The Lady Lions' mistakes would cost them as the Eagles seized set number three to prevent the sweep.

  • To respond and win, the composure exhibited by the SAGU upperclassman would be entirely on display in the fourth and decisive set of the contest.

 

More from Moore:

"15-0, but tonight was a real struggle. Karena Tipton had a great night and hit over .500. Overall, our ladies stepped up and played well, but this was a true struggle. We will have to play much better tomorrow," SAGU Head Volleyball Coach Hank Moore said.
