Set 3 thriller leads to Friday series split
ULM beach volleyball broke even during Friday’s matches of the ULM Bayou Bash with a win against in-state opponent McNeese and a loss to Missouri State. The Warhawks (4-6; 0-1 Sun Belt Conference) swept the Cowgirls (1-11), winning every set. Kaylie Beck and Avery Hunter’s game-clinching 21-17, 21-12 victory meant the other two matches didn’t need a winner. Later, ULM faced Missouri State (13-2) for the second time this season, yet the Warhawks suffered the same 3-2 loss. After splitting matches 2-2, Kaitlyn Beck and Claire Williamson won set one but dropped set two. A scoring run by the Bears landed them at 15 points and ended ULM’s victory run on Friday.
