Last Tuesday, the Lady Tigers traveled to Pierce City to take on the 9-12-6 Eagles in Southwest Conference volleyball action. The Lady Tigers entered the contest one game below .500 and a victory would give them 13 wins on the season. It was a good night as the Lady Tigers took the match in three sets 25-16, 27-25, and 26-24, although the final two sets turned into nail biters. The Lady Tigers had 7 aces to go with 33 assists in the win. Brylee Norman had a solid outing, recording 17 digs on the night. Emmalyn Naylor added 4 aces and 5 digs to the stat sheet.

On Wednesday, the Lady Tigers traveled to Miller to wrap up conference play for both teams. In the first set, Miller was able to squeak past the Lady Tigers, taking the win 27-25. The second set was also close with Miller taking the win, 25-22. After two close losses, the Lady Tigers struggled in the final set, losing 25-16 as Miller posted the sweep. The Lady Tigers recorded 31 assists, 3 aces, and 80 digs in the contest. Asia Graham had 23 digs with 1 ace, Shia Roberts had 17 digs and 1 ace, and Rylee Forst had 15 digs and an ace. Emmalyn Naylor and HayLeigh Burres had 3 and 2 blocks, respectively.
