On Sept. 8, St. Edward’s women’s volleyball hosted Texas A&M University-Kingsville. The game lasted four sets. St. Edward’s won the second set, but lost the three others. During the first set, TAMUK started off strong with a four-point lead, which they maintained until closing out the set with a score of 25-22. St. Edward’s made a comeback in the second set but could not maintain that momentum throughout the rest of the game.
