MOBILE, Ala. - Speed was the theme of the match as South Alabama (3-0) swept Tulane (1-2) to conclude the Jaguar Invitational presented by Hampton by Hilton at Providence Park.
Three of the Jags' first nine points were scored on service aces from Paige Lynn, Maddie Soboleski, and Hannah Maddux. With the quick start came early separation, but a run from Tulane threatened the set. The Jags came off a timeout with a 21-17 lead and renewed energy, surging them into a set lead with a 25-18 win.
USA looked frantic early on in the second set but a decisive kill from Maddux and a serve from Capizzi that was too much to handle put the momentum back in the Jags' favor as it looked that South had found an answer for anything Tulane tried as they went on a 10-2 run for a 20-12 lead.
