Box Score LAWTON – Less than 24 hours removed from a five-set comeback victory over Harding, the TexAnns pushed their winning streak to six in dramatic fashion once again with another five-set win against LSC rival Cameron.
 
With the win, Tarleton is now 8-1 on the season and 3-0 in Lone Star Conference play. The eight wins in the first nine games is the second-best start in school history behind 2010's 9-0 beginning. While the six-game winning streak is the longest since Tarleton won nine straight in 2012.
 
For the eighth time in nine games, Tarleton got on the board first with a kill shot from Kenya Alexander to start a 7-2 TexAnn run to begin the game. The Aggies clawed back, however, and tied the opening set at 17-17 and eventually 18-18.
 
Kelsey Raglin broke the tie game with a kill shot that started a 7-2 game-clinching run to give the first set to Tarleton 25-20.
 
After dropping the second set 25-14, Tarleton State turned things around in the third set and jumped out to an early 7-3 lead.
 
The Aggies cut the Tarleton lead to just one at 11-10 before a Kaitlyn White kill shot started a 12-4 TexAnn run to force a Cameron timeout at 23-14. Out of the break, the TexAnns put the game away on an Aggie error and a kill from Alexander to take a 2-1 match lead.
 
In the fourth set, Tarleton continued to battle with a stubborn Cameron team through a tight fourth set – which was tied 13 times through 22-22. Cameron got three kills in the final four total points to take the set and force a fifth game.
 
Leading 6-5 in the fifth set, Hailey Roberts landed a kill shot to start an 8-4 Tarleton run to set up a 14-9 game-point for the TexAnns.
 
Cameron answered back with five straight points to even the set at 14-14, but Roberts ended the game with back-to-back points to seal the game and the match.
 
Roberts led the team with 16 kills to go along with 17 digs while Alexander and White added 13 kills each. Katie Covell (18) and Ayssa Garcia (12) also had double-figure kills while Emily Medlin led the team with a career-high 48 assists.
 
The TexAnns will return home for two games this week when they host Texas Woman's on Tuesday at 7 p.m. and Texas A&M-Kingsville Friday at 6 p.m.
