Scores of the match were 27-25, 25-21, and 25-14.
 
Bayle' Bennett's 15 kills led the way for the Lady Hornets (18-8), who remained undefeated in Southwestern Athletic Conference play with a 15-0 league record.
 
Audriana Carson led the Lady Tigers (16-10, 12-2 SWAC) with seven kills. Allison Woods registered 12 digs for Texas Southern. Nicole Robinson (pictured) had six kills and a .357 hitting percentage during the match.
