In the third set, the Mustangs rolled off five straight points to tie it before adding two more for a 9-8 advantage.<\/p>\n<p>Rockport-Fulton, though, rebounded by scoring six straight points, highlighted by Presley Adams recording three aces during the run. Adams finished the night with four aces, and Julia Lechler added three.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s such an important part of the game,\u201d Lady Pirates coach Jessica Clark said. \u201cI think we have a really strong serve-receive game, and we continue to make a lot of aces. Now, with that comes a few errors because we are serving so tough to teams, but I believe in our servers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Allie Garcia finished the night with eight kills, while Lechler added seven kills and five digs. Leftwich also recorded 16 assists and eight digs. Logan Wood and Nahla Gandy each recorded a block, Iris Kuhn tallied five assists, and Kenna Nguyen added three.<\/p>\n<p>Nguyen also led Rockport-Fulton with 14 digs.<\/p>\n<p>                        &#13;<br \/>\n                            &#13;<br \/>\n                            Close&#13;<\/p>\n<p>                <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/6aaa0f94a5e10.image.jpg\" alt=\"_R333650.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive owl-first-image owl-lazy blur\" width=\"1763\" height=\"1175\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/6aaa0f94a5e10.image.jpg\"\/><br \/>\n             <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1789552256_442_6aaa0f94a5e10.image.jpg\" alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" loading=\"lazy\" height=\"133\" width=\"200\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Rockport-Fulton\u2019s Allie Garcia goes up for a kill against Corpus Christi King during a volleyball match on Tuesday, Sept. 15 at Rockport-Fulton High School.
