In a head-to-head team comparison, the Lady Lions tallied an impressive 37 assists, showcasing their fluid offense and teamwork, while the Lady Tigers managed 13.
"After a long bus ride, we shook off the bus legs and played fairly well. Bailee had another big night, and Emma played a very strong match. She also moved into 2nd place all time in SAGU History. She is only 31 blocks away from passing Krystal Cisneros as the all time leader in total blocks. She has a legitimate chance," said Head Volleyball Coach Hank Moore.
