LONGVIEW, Texas – An efficient offensive performance and a plethora of miscues by the guests culminated in a crucial American Southwest Conference victory while creating a bit of history in LeTourneau's volleyball victory Friday night at Solheim Arena.

LeTourneau (9-5, 4-3 ASC) scored the first 11 points of the match, establishing the tone of the evening. The War Hawks (4-6, 2-5) struggled to find their footing and found themselves in a 1-0 deficit after a 17-point loss.
 
Each set played the same script with the Yellowjackets building 11-3 and 10-4 advantages in the following games. McMurry reached double-digits in the middle set, trimming the deficit to 19-10 before the home squad rattled off six points in succession to grab a 2-0 edge.
 
The Yellowjackets led 18-10 in the final set when they closed to match point with two aces from Courtney Edge and four errors by the guests. Kaylie Vasil staved off the inevitable for one rally before Jenna Curran smashed home the final point of the night.
