This marked the first win Southern Utah has ever had over UTA. The loss dropped UT Arlington&#8217;s record to 11-12 overall and 3-8 in WAC play.<\/p>\n<p>Both teams started strong in the opening set as Southern Utah took the first timeout of the game, down 13-15. SUU capitalized on a string of UTA attacking errors to rally back and take a 16-15 lead. The Thunderbirds worked hard to extend their lead, 18-16, due to a two-point scoring run. Southern Utah kept their momentum as a service error allowed the Thunderbirds to snag the first set, 25-21.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nIn set two, Southern Utah came in hot after taking the first set, leading game two with a 7-4 start. UTA came back up the stretch after a kill by <a href=\"https:\/\/utamavs.com\/sports\/womens-volleyball\/roster\/sophie-ocampo\/14342\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"14342\" target=\"_blank\">Sophie Ocampo<\/a> and service ace from <a href=\"https:\/\/utamavs.com\/sports\/womens-volleyball\/roster\/alondra-hernandez\/14627\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"14627\" target=\"_blank\">Alondra Hernandez<\/a>, 11-12. The Thunderbirds called timeout and came out strong after.

However, a series of late errors proved costly, and Southern Utah captured the second set, 25-20, leading the game 2-0.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nThe Mavericks came out energized in the third set, taking the largest lead of the night for either team at 8-3 before SUU called a timeout. UTA extended its advantage to 15-11, prompting another Thunderbird timeout. At the 16-13 mark, the teams began trading points in a tight back-and-forth stretch. Southern Utah later used a timeout with the Mavericks up 20-16, but a 4-0 UTA scoring run pushed the lead 24-17. The Mavs closed out the set 25-18, capturing their first set of the night.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nSouthern Utah jumped out to an early 5-3 lead to start the fourth set. At the 8-9 mark, the teams continued trading points, with UTA staying within one all the way to 11-13. The Mavericks called timeout with SUU ahead 17-14. Both teams battled back-and-forth up to 22-19, but the Thunderbirds closed the door with a late 3-0 run to take the set, 25-19, and secure the 3-1 match win.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nGame Notes<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00bb <a href=\"https:\/\/utamavs.com\/sports\/womens-volleyball\/roster\/mira-ledermueller\/14633\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"14633\" target=\"_blank\">Mira Ledermueller<\/a> had a team-high three aces in the loss.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00bb <a href=\"https:\/\/utamavs.com\/sports\/womens-volleyball\/roster\/camryn-mcminn\/14631\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"14631\" target=\"_blank\">Camryn McMinn<\/a> had a match-high 18 kills for UT Arlington.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00bb UT Arlington got a match-high 11 digs from <a href=\"https:\/\/utamavs.com\/sports\/womens-volleyball\/roster\/samantha-glenn\/14341\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"14341\" target=\"_blank\">Samantha Glenn<\/a>.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00bb UT Arlington attackers were helped by a match-high 45 assists from <a href=\"https:\/\/utamavs.com\/sports\/womens-volleyball\/roster\/mira-ledermueller\/14633\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"14633\" target=\"_blank\">Mira Ledermueller<\/a>.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nNEXT UP<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nThe Mavericks will head south to face the Trailblazers of Utah Tech on Saturday, Nov. 15 at 1 p.m. CT in Burns Arena in St. George, Utah.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">#BuckEm<\/p>\n<p>FOLLOW THE MAVS<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nFor the latest news on\u00a0UTA Volleyball, log on to\u00a0UTAMavs.com\u00a0or stay connected to the Mavs\u00a0on social media.
