LAWTON – Despite opening the match with a strong first set win, the Aggies could not maintain their momentum to fall in the next three sets in a 1-3 (25-17, 21-25, 20-25, 16-25) loss to Eastern New Mexico on Friday evening.
 
The loss drops CU to 2-8 overall and 0-3 in the Lone Star Conference while ENMU is now 4-8 overall and 2-1 in the league.
 
Head coach Tatiana Booth said the Aggies' biggest struggle as of late has been their mentality.
 
"No one is out right beating us, it's more that we're beating ourselves," Booth said. "That's the switch we have to make. What's tough about this conference is you play one night then the next night, so you have to get over that hump and keep moving. We need to build our mentality and start getting some conference wins under our belt."
 
Cameron only posted a .078 attacking percentage while the Greyhounds hit .207 in the match. The Greyhounds outmatched the Aggies by 19 kills after recording 56 total with Brooklyn Biel leading with 13 kills and Sarah Tuioti-Mariner with 12 kills.

Cameron had a strong showing in the first set, stringing together a lead taking ten point run. The Aggies won 25-17 behind a .226 hitting percentage and four Altic aces.
