LAWTON – The Cameron volleyball program will honor their two seniors, Desiree Marmolejo and Sydney Bolin, as they play their final two home matches of the 2021 season this weekend. 
 
The Aggies have just three more matches on the docket for this fall, with the first two coming on their home court against UAFS on Friday and Oklahoma Christian on Saturday, which will serve as the team's Senior Day, taking place after the match against the Lady Lions. 
 
LAST TIME OUT
Cameron was on the road last weekend taking on St. Mary's and St. Edward's, which resulted in two more losses. After a three-set defeat by the Rattlers on Friday night, the Black and Gold were just a point away from taking a 2-1 lead over the Hilltoppers and carrying the momentum into the fourth set. However, the point swung the way of the home team and resulted in a SEU win in the fourth to take the match. Arianna Navarrete led Cameron with a career-best 19 kills, adding two aces, four blocks, and 12 digs in the effort.
