WHAT HEAD COACH SEAN HUIET SAID:Â "I'm really proud. I felt good about this weekend. Keith [Anderson] and I were just talking about how it's been a while since we swept ULM. They keep getting better and better. So to come in here and beat them 3-0 both matches, I feel good about that. I feel good about how we played our style of volleyball. Very pleased today.
HOW IT HAPPENED:
Similarly to last night's match, Texas State was all gas, no breaks in the first set. They won the first set of the match and didn't waiver through the entirety of the set, winning 25-15 in the end.

They went on a bit of a run to end the set, but Texas State still held on to a 25-16 win in the end. Defraeye had a great second set with three blocks and six kills in that set alone to lead the Bobcats.
