Posted 09/17/16, 11:24 AM CST

SAN ANGELO (AM News Net)  –  The TWU Pioneers volleyball (0-1) team fell in three sets yesterday in the conference opening game against Angelo State (1-0), a team that upset Wheeling Jesuit and Central Missouri last week. Wheeling Jesuit was the highest ranked team defeated in program history, according to the Lone Star Conference.The Pioneers were unable to come out with a win against this surprising team, losing in three sets: 25-12, 25-16 and 25-18.

TWU's Sara Oxford and Makayla Mayfield both earned six kills to combine for over half of the kills earned by TWU, but were unable to match Angelo State's 47 kills through out the game.

The Pioneers are now tied in the Lone Star Conference standings with UT Permian Basin, Cameron, and Eastern and Western New Mexico. Any indication for the rest of the season would not be conclusive, however.

TWU will play at Tarleton for their second conference game this season at Tarleton (1-0).
