HOUSTON (Sept. 30, 2017) – The Our Lady of the Lake University (OLLU) volleyball team battled the University of St. Thomas (UST) this afternoon and pulled off the 3-2 win. The Saints improve to 10-5 overall and 6-0 in the Red River Athletic Conference, while UST drops to 7-8 and 4-2 in conference.
Head Coach Jeremiah Tiffin commented, "Another great conference road win. St. Thomas put up a great fight and made us work for every point. That's a tough place to win and winning the conference tournament will be tough in that gym.
"Having four players win double figure kills was awesome. Natalie Fazio (SO/Plano, Texas) bouncing back from a bad night last night to hit over .300 was huge. Mariza Cardenas (JR/Brownsville, Texas) continued her great week in the middle and was very effective.
"I'm really proud of Anyssa Rivera (SO/El Paso, Texas) who had a triple double today. I don't know that we've had that happen before in our program. Very rare and she earned every single point she had."
The Saints are 16-11 against the Lady Celts since 2007. They have not lost a match to them since 2013.
