LAWTON – Despite taking the first set against the No. 23 team in the nation, the Aggies could not close the next three games to fall 1-3 (23-25, 25-17, 25-19, 25-23) to Angelo State on Friday evening.
 
Cameron still tallied 19.5 total team blocks, just a half block shy of their team season high they set on Oct. 20 versus UT Permian Basin. It was the most blocks the Rambelles have experienced against a team this season as Brandy Carr led the charge with nine blocks and Ashleigh McFatridge eight blocks. McFatridge matched her blocks with eight kills.
 
Paige Dixon led the Aggie offense with ten kills, while Carr, Brittany Lawson and Bristol Lewis added six each. Brook Conley nabbed her 16th double-double of the year on 34 assists and 13 digs. CU's dig leader was Brittnee Altic with 27.
 
On the Rambelle's side, Brianna Sotello had her fourth match this season with over 20 kills as she put down 23 against CU, while also achieving her 13th double-double of the season with a team high 19 digs. Haley Coulter also recorded a double-double on 10 kills and 18 digs.
 
The Lone Star Conference's Preseason Setter of the Year, Meghan Parker, totaled 50 assists for the second time this year.
 
The first set saw back and forth action with the Aggies taking four three-point leads throughout the match. Cameron reached their largest lead of four on set point 24-20 but the Rambelles gave a nail-biting performance knocking down two kills and a block to close the gap to one. But CU would stop the chain as Conley put down a kill of her own assisted by Katherine Manning for the 25-23 first set win after holding ASU to just .020 attacking percentage.
 
It was CU's offense turn to falter in the second set as they ended up hitting under .100 themselves. The Rambelles jumped to a 6-0 advantage to start the set before CU got their first point. The Ags closed the spread to two but steadily fell behind seeing ASU break for their largest lead of nine points 21-12 following a five point chain. The Belles would go on to take the set 25-17 behind a match high .321 hitting clip.
 
Set three was contested early with six ties but ASU went on a nine point run to nab a 16-8 lead the Aggies would not recover from. ASU won set three 25-19.
 
Cameron fought hard to stay in the match during the fourth set behind their blocking game as they performed nine in that set. The game tied 11 times and for the last time at 23-23 until the Rambelles hit back-to-back kills for the 25-23 set and match victory.
 
Cameron drops to 7-19 overall and 3-14 in the LSC. ASU is now 18-8 on the year and 10-7 in the league.
 
The Aggies will host No. 14 Tarleton State at 2 p.m. on Saturday in the Aggie Gym.
