LAWTON – The Cameron volleyball team opened their home season with a 3-0 (25-5, 25-20, 25-22) victory over the University of Science and Arts to snap a four game skid on Tuesday.
 
The win now gives the CU a 2-5 overall record before heading into Lone Star Conference action this weekend, while USAO drops to 1-6 overall.
 
"It was a great win for us and our confidence going into conference play," head coach Tatiana Booth said. "We definitely needed a win to get us back on the swing, so I'm excited for conference and to see what we're going to do. Hopefully that win just keeps us rolling into strong league play."
 
Junior Paige Dixon led the Aggies offensively with 13 kills said the match showed CU where they are at ahead of the weekend.
 
"We saw some things to work on going into conference, but I think this win will kind of push us and give us some momentum," Dixon said. "It's a good win, but we still have to come in and work on some things before we head off to Canyon [Texas].
 
Other statistical leaders included Brittany Lawson with nine kills and Ashleigh McFatridge with six kills and four total blocks. Brook Conley had a match high 22 assists and three aces, while Britnee Altic also pitched in three aces paired with a team high 15 digs.
 
The first set was all CU as the Aggies posted a 25-5 win that included a 13 point run to close out the set. USAO only knocked down one kill in the opening set while Cameron recorded nine and a .400 attack percentage.
 
The Drovers fared better in sets two and three, gaining the lead several times and almost prevented the sweep late as they tied the Aggies 22-all in set three before an attack error followed by two CU kills brought the home team the victory.
 
Dana Stepankova led the Drovers with 11 kills in the match.
 
Cameron will match-up with West Texas A&M and UT Permian Basin on the road this weekend to start LSC action before returning to Lawton for a six match home stand.
