Jazmine Green each topped double figures in kills despite the quick defeat of Kingsville.
SERIES HISTORIES
In the all-time series history against Eastern New Mexico, Tarleton has dominated the series since the latter part of the 2005 season. Including a sweep in Stephenville earlier this season, Tarleton has now won 12 straight meetings against the Zias dating back to Oct. 29, 2005 – head coach
Mary Schindler's first season at the helm of the TexAnns. Schindler lost her first meeting against the Zias 0-3 on Sept. 29, 2005 and has not lost since.
Against the Lady Buffs, Tarleton State trails the all-time series to West Texas A&M 39-2 after a four-set loss in Stephenville earlier this season. The TexAnns' only two wins have come in the past two seasons as Tarleton won its first ever game against WT in 2011 to end their 87-game conference winning streak and its first-ever victory in The Box last season in a five-set thriller. These wins make head coach
Mary Schindler the only coach in school history to defeat West Texas A&M.
