DENTON, Texas – Texas Southern dropped a 3-0 decision at North Texas on Tuesday night.
Set one saw TSU go back-and-forth with the Mean Green early as they trailed 9-6. However, five TSU attack errors fueled a 10-1 UNT run as the deficit grew to 19-7 before kills from Danielle Lilley and Thalia Cordero Moreno ended the run. However, UNT scored five of the next six points to close out set one 25-11.
UNT led 6-1 in set two before TSU cut the deficit to 8-4 but the Mean Green answered with a 10-0 run for an 18-4 margin as they never looked back for the 25-7 win.
Set three was déjà vu once again as TSU trailed 8-5 but another 9-1 run by UNT turned a close contest into a 17-6 deficit. TSU would close to within 10 but that would be the closest they would get as UNT closed out the match with the win.
Cordero Moreno led TSU with four kills while Dallas Balanay-Flores added nine assists. Kaitlyn Scroggins, Balanay-Flores and Alaiyah Fields all had five digs.
TSU is back in action at the UNO Invitational on Friday with matches against Western Illinois (11 a.m.) and New Orleans (4 p.m.)
