CANYON, Texas – A rough start paved the way for a three set loss to West Texas A&M in the Aggie volleyball team's second Lone Star Conference match of the season on Saturday.
 
Cameron dropped the match 0-3 (12-25, 22-25, 23-25) for their third loss in straight sets this season as they fall to 2-7 overall and 0-2 in the LSC. The Lady Buffs are now 7-4 overall and 2-0 in the league after defeating Midwestern State 3-0 on Friday.
 
Brittany Lawson led the Aggie offense with nine kills, and Paige Dixon was one behind her with eight kills. Ashleigh McFatridge tied her career high in blocks totaling four. Brook Conley recorded a team high 24 assists while Britnee Altic led the team with 14 digs.
 
The Aggies struggled early as they were held to a negative attacking percentage to start the match. CU dropped the opening set 12-25 after posting just five kills to the Lady Buffs' 15 kills.
 
However, Cameron attempted a comeback in set two, battling past a couple of five point WTAMU chains to gain their first lead of the match at 19-18. The score tied twice and for a final time at 22-all before an Aggie error plus a Lady Buff ace and kill ended the set 22-25.
 
The third set saw the Aggies' largest lead of the match as they grabbed a six point advantage of 17-10 before WTAMU put together a couple of runs to tie it back at 20-all. The set tied twice more to even at 23-all until back-to-back Lady Buff blocks awarded them the set 25-23 and match.
 
WTAMU's Erin Clark led her team with 15 kills.
 
The Aggies now prepare for a six match home stand starting on Sept. 22 when they host Eastern New Mexico in Lawton.
