Press Release

Lady Rams win sixth straight, defeat Bacone, 3-0
September 20, 2003

     MUSKOGEE, Okla. - Freshman Sara Southerland had nine kills, 11 digs and six aces to lead Texas Wesleyan past Bacone College, 30-21, 30-8, 30-21, Saturday afternoon in Red River Athletic Conference action.

     Tied at 21 in the first game, Texas Wesleyan (8-2, 6-1 RRAC) ran off nine straight points to secure the game on the strength of four aces from senior Lindsay Chandler.

     "It was tight, late in the first game, when we turned it up a notch," head coach Rick Johansen said. "The girls fed off of that first game victory and the momentum carried throughout the match."

     The Rams took the final two games to wrap up their sixth victory in a row.

     Sophomore Rachel Loftin and junior Tiffany Porterfield led the Lady Rams with 11 kills each. Junior Cortney Johansen tallied 41 assists seven digs. Sophomore Allyson Gaudi had a team-high 13 digs.

     The Lady Rams will be back in action Friday at the Sid Ricahrdson Gymnasium when they host conference-rival UT-Permian Basin at 7 p.m.
