LONGVIEW, Texas -- The LeTourneau volleyball team took the first two sets in its showdown with ASC foe UT Dallas, but the visiting Comets rallied back for a five-set victory over the YellowJackets (19-25, 23-25, 25-21, 25-17, 15-8) on Tuesday evening inside Solheim Arena.

It was the first home loss and the first loss in a five-set match for LeTourneau (5-2, 1-1 ASC) this season. It was the conference opener for UT Dallas (4-3, 1-0 ASC).

LeTourneau was rolling early on as the YellowJackets took the first set 25-19 before claiming a 25-23 victory in set two. The hosts used a 6-1 run in the first set to create a 16-11 lead as two kills from Hannah Payan highlighted the run. After UT Dallas cut the margin to one (18-17), LeTourneau scored four straight to grab a 22-17 lead. A combination block from Allison Smith and Avery Mabery Morgan sealed the set and a 1-0 match lead for the YellowJackets.

In the second set, LeTourneau grabbed a 7-3 lead early on and never trailed despite five ties in the frame. Back-to-back kills from Morgan and Allison Smith gave the YellowJackets breathing room at 20-17 in the set. UT Dallas rallied to tie the set at 23 apiece before an error and another assisted block from Morgan and Kaci Monk clinched the 25-23 set win.

LeTourneau took a 14-8 lead in the third set before UT Dallas rallied back. The Comets used an 8-2 run over the final 10 points to eke past the YellowJackets and force a fourth set. In the fourth, UT Dallas never trailed and put the match into a fifth set with a 25-17 win.

The Comets again started fast in the fifth scoring five of the first six points. A Reina Lawson kill got LeTourneau within 11-8, but UT Dallas took the final four points to capture the comeback win.

Payan had 14 kills and 14 digs to lead LeTourneau, while Morgan Nix totaled 37 digs. Kaci Monk added nine kills, six blocks, and six digs with Emma Smith totaling eight kills and Allison Smith seven.
