DALLAS – No. 14 Tarleton got back in the win column with a road sweep of Dallas Baptist and will now turn its attention to tomorrow's Lone Star Conference opener at Texas Woman's.
 
The Patriots came out swinging as Dallas Baptist built an 8-2 lead over the first 10 points, but Hailey Roberts landed a kill that turned the tide for Tarleton. The Roberts kill started a 19-13 Tarleton run to even the opening set at 21-21. The teams traded errors to keep the set even at 22-22 before Roberts delivered the win with the final three kills.
 
Once again, Dallas Baptist jumped out to a lead as the Patriots led 15-12 over the opening 27 points. Adriana Darthuy landed a kill shot for Tarleton's 13^th point and started a 12-2 Tarleton run over the remainder of the set for a 25-17 victory in set two.
 
Tarleton wasted no time in the final set, jumping out to a 7-1 lead then extending it to 15-9. The Patriots edged out Tarleton 11-10 over the next 21 points, but the TexAnns' early-set work was enough to secure the sweep.
