TROY, Ala. – Troy fell in three tight sets to red-hot Texas State (25-17, 25-22, 25-19) at Trojan Arena Saturday night.
The Bobcats (20-5, 11-0) have been one of the hottest teams in the country of late, winning 15 straight matches after Saturday's sweep of the Trojans (10-13, 4-6).
Troy saw an 12-5 lead vanish in the opening set due to a fierce, 11-point rally from Texas State to flip the momentum, followed by a four-point push to pull away even further in the 25-17 opening set victory.
Set two was a battle from the start as neither team was able to sustain a rally longer than three points.
