DALLAS, Texas – The Cameron volleyball team showed a lot of fight early in their match at DBU on Saturday but faded late in the four-set loss to remain winless in Lone Star Conference play.

The Aggies had another shot at their first league win on Saturday win they visited the Lady Patriots and gave the home team a lot of trouble in the opening sets. However, it seemed their magic ran out early as DBU controlled the final two sets to win in four.

In Saturday's match, the home team Lady Patriots hit .233 aided by an almost .400 attack percentage in the final frame. They also out-blocked the Aggies eight-to-five, while the service aces were even at five each. Cameron hit .129 as a team on the other side of the court, after hitting under .100 on the attack in the last two sets.

Arianna Navarrete had her second straight double-digit kill match with 11 to go along with 11 digs for her second double-double of the year. The third-year player finished with 14.5 points, adding a block and three aces from the service line.

Natalia Araujo added nine points, recording eight kills and a block, while Bergen Campbell and Jessica Lipkit each had seven points for CU; Lipkit led the Aggies with three total blocks.

Freshmen Noemie Narbonne and Anjolie Navarrete combined for 34 assists and 12 digs at the setter position with An. Navarrete adding two aces, one shy of her sister. Presley Shearin led the Aggies with 18 digs.

Cameron kept DBU on their toes in the first set, battling them to nine tie scores and a pair of lead changes in the frame. After a Campbell kill tied the set at 18, the Lady Patriots put their foot on the gas by scoring seven of the final nine points to win 25-20.

Set two features just as many lead changes and seven ties in a back-and-forth battle. DBU looked to be putting the frame away when they took a 23-20 lead late, but two kills by freshman Jacee Stelter and an error by the home team tied the score at 23. From there, the two teams matched points until back-to-back kills by Ar. Navarrete gave CU a 28-27 advantage. A touch block from Lipkit and Campbell on the next play gave CU their first set win since Sep. 18.

DBU was not phased by the late Aggie run, as they opened the third with an 11-4 lead. CU came back to within three thanks to a rally capped by another Campbell kill that forced a timeout by the Lady Patriots. They came out of the break and would not let CU get that close again, cruising to a 25-17 win.

In the fourth, the Black and Gold led early after a Stelter kill gave them a 7-5 advantage. However, DBU responded with a 6-0 run and then closed out the match on a 7-1 stretch that gave them the 25-14 win to take the match.

Cameron is now 1-15 on the season and 0-6 in league play with Saturday's loss. They will look to snap their 14-match losing skid on Tuesday, Oct. 5, when they visit Southern Nazarene for a non-conference tilt.
