SAN MARCOS, Texas – Texas State parlayed the team's momentum from a record-breaking victory over Prairie View to start Friday into another sweep, beating Lamar, 3-0 (25-21, 25-20, 25-15), to even the Bobcat record to 3-3 on the young season.
 
For the second match in a row, Jordan Kohl led the Bobcats in kills, finishing with 11. She continued to stay efficient without an error on 15 attempts for a .733 hitting percentage. Middle blocker Morgan Lewis tagged along with eight kills of her own and just one error for a .412 hitting percentage. As a squad, the Bobcats hit .323 and capped the sweep with a .381 percentage in the third set. Junior Shelby Vas Matt added nine kills in support.
 
Vas Matt almost made it a double-double, finishing the night with 10 digs to lead all student-athletes in the match. Libero Sierra Smith added nine digs as the Bobcat defense made it tough on Lamar with 39 digs in the match.
 
Erin Hoppe showed the Bobcats have two setters who can get the job done, finishing with 21 assists for a 7.0 assist per set average against Lamar. Emily Shelton added eight more while Smith gave out five.
 
Texas State found the team's groove in the second set, putting down 17 kills and just three errors on 42 attempts for a .333 hitting percentage.
 
For Texas State, though, it wasn't just efficiency or defense that won the match but hustle. Smith showed her experience by not giving up on a falling ball after a miscommunication. Most spectators had given up on the play, but Smith kept the play alive that eventually led to a kill and a point for Texas State. Later in the match, Kohl hustled after a misplayed ball. Her energy led to a kill from her at the end of the play.
 
Both Indiana and Texas State head into the final day of the Delta Zeta Classic undefeated in the tournament, so tomorrow's matchup will be for the Delta Zeta Classic Championship.
 
The Bobcats will finish the Delta Zeta Classic Saturday against Indiana at 4 p.m., and then set the team's sights on No. 11 Oregon. The Ducks come to town for a 6:30 p.m. match against Texas State Tuesday night.
