LAWTON, Okla. – In a two-day turnaround from traveling to Western New Mexico, Tarleton headed to Lawton for a makeup match against Cameron and suffered a 5-4 loss Sunday afternoon.
 
"It was a hard-fought, exciting match and we just weren't able to pull it out today," said head coach Lance Drake. "We'll come back and get ready for the conference tournament."
