DENTON,

and 20 digs versus UW-P.
“We
played two strong matches today, the team just fell off the
track against Bellarmine,” head coach Patty Dowdell

this weekend so we can have the best lineup possible on the
floor to open up conference action this coming week.”
The
Pioneers hit at .130 clip during their loss to Bellarmine
University
with 54 kills and 30 errors on 184 total attacks. Wright

Mobley (Kingwood, TX/ Kingwood H.S.) continued her great
serving, turning in three aces with nine kills and five digs.

The Pioneers
were up two games to none when Wisconsin-Parkside made their
comeback to take the match. Wright again paced the team with
13 kills and a game-high 20 digs. The Rangers recorded 68
kills and 21 errors while TWU had 47 kills and 24 errors. Marci
Brinkman (Carrollton, TX/Newman Smith H.S.) recorded
a double-double of her own when she turned in 10 kills and
10 digs. UW-P had three players in double figures in kills
with Katie Raasch leading the way with 20 kills and 16 digs.
