Last weekend, the Tuskegee University Volleyball team competed in their final group block of conference games in the 2013 season, as they traveled to Jackson, Tenn. to compete in the second (and final) SIAC West Cluster.  The Tigerettes, like they did in the first West Cluster of the season hosted at Tuskegee, finished with a record of 2-1. 

Results in each of Tuskegee's matches are listed below:

Tuskegee University - 3	25	25	25

Tuskegee managed to take their frustrations out in their morning loss to Kentucky State and unleash them on the host school later in the evening.  Ashley Mason had a match high five kills, and four Tigerettes had a minimum of four kills in the match, as they drew back to .500.  Lane picked up their 14th consecutive loss to start the season.

Amber East had a match-high of 11 assists, while Mason added eight assists of her own.  For the home team, SeQoya Cox had a team-high of three kills, and she was also one of four Lady Dragons with at least four kills.  Lane did not finish with a positive attack percentage in any set of the one-hour match.

Box Score

LeMoyne-Owen College - 1	20	3	25	24
Tuskegee University - 3	25	25	19	26

After dominating the second set for their largest margin of victory this season, Tuskegee had to deny a strong comeback attempt from LeMoyne-Owen, edging out the victory in the fourth set after dropping the third set in the final match of the West Cluster.  Allen and Rachel Brownlee combined for a total of 26 kills in the match for Tuskegee, while Zantrell Brown and Bethony Cousin combined for 22 kills in a losing effort.

LeMoyne-Owen lost the match in spite of having four players with a minimum of ten digs, and another player in Dontavia Rucker that had another eight digs.  But, Tuskegee countered with a match-high 17 kills from Tanesha Foster, and finished with their highest attack percentage (.109) in the fourth and final set.  The win in the one hour and 15 minute match put the Tigerettes back above .500 for the season.

Tuskegee's season continued with a road match against Miles in Birmingham on Wednesday, and the Tigerettes will travel to Selma, AL to play Concordia College on Thursday.  A recap of both of these matches will be available on GoldenTigerSports.com late next week.
