LAWTON - The Cameron Aggie volleyball team earns a thrilling five-set win over the rival Midwestern State Mustangs, behind 14 total blocks and a solid attack percentage. 

The Cameron Aggies and Midwestern State Mustangs finally wrapped up their two-game series this week on Friday afternoon at the Aggie Gym. After CU lost the opening match, 3-1, a pair of weather delays extended this series to a special Friday matchup. 

The game saw each side playing with a ton of energy, and competitiveness, as expected in a rivalry game. Aggie head coach Brandon Stephenson mentioned his team was "Motivated" not to let MSU sweep them on their home floor. 

CU was fantastic in the hit percentage category, "Some of the best, maybe the best, since I have been here" Stephenson exclaimed after the win. Walia Franklin led the Black and Gold with a .414 hitting percentage. CU saw three more players hit above .200, including JaLisa Hollingshed who turned in a .333-hit percentage to go along with her team-high eight blocks. Natalia Araujo da Silva earned a .357 hit-percentage to go along with her six blocks. 

Alanni Carter turned in a stellar performance. Carter collected eight digs, three blocks, and tied for a team-high 13 kills with Franklin. 

Arianna Navarrete and Presley Shearin led the Aggies in digs with 13, and 18 respectively. 

After losing set one by four points, CU rallied for a 27-25 set two win and came right back to win set three as well. 

The Mustangs dominated set four, only surrendering 12 points in the frame. The Aggies did not let that get them down, as they started the fifth and final set on fire. 

CU started on a 4-0 run before stretching their lead to 7-2. MSU responded and eventually tied the frame at 13-all in the first-to-fifteen set five. CU rattled off the next two points to seal the win and improve to 2-2. 

This a win that "felt really good. The girls battled back after the first set." to coach Stephenson who said the Aggies ``Came together as a team. We really fought hard on-and-off the court." giving high praise to the girls on the bench helping to rally their teammates.
