Head coach Tim Loesch called it the biggest win in program history, after UT Permian Basin volleyball upset #10 Tarleton State in five sets in Odessa, ending the TexAnns 24-game winning streak and a bid for an undefeated conference season.

The TexAnns (27-3, 19-1) came out hot taking a 9-3 lead.  After trading points, the Falcons (15-15, 9-11) would go on a 9-1 run, to go up 17-14.  The teams would trade points again until the game was tied at 22.  After a Travana Matthews kill, the TexAnns would have back to back errors to give the Falcons the opening set.

Opening the second set, the TexAnns took an 8-2 lead.  A 4-0 run later in the set pushed their lead to 15-8.  They would continue to score and take the set 25-16.  In the third set, the teams would trade points with the TexAnns leading 14-12.  An 11-7 run to close the set gave them the set and the Falcons trailed two sets to one.  

The Falcons grabbed momentum and did not let it go in the fourth set.  Starting the set 5-0, the Falcons would take a strangle hold on the match.  With Analise Lucio serving, the Falcons would go on a 12-0 run taking an 18-3 lead.  Matthews had three kills and a block while Haleigh Robinson dominated with four kills and a block.   With the lead 24-12, the TexAnns would make a run of their own.  Five Falcon errors led to a 9-0 run, before a Robinson kill would send the game to a decisive fifth set.  

In the fifth set, both teams traded points early.  Back to back kills by Matthews and Skyler Friel, followed by a setting error put the Falcons up 4-2.  Another pair of kills by Matthews sandwiched around a Robinson kill put the Falcons up 11-6.  From there they wouldn't look back.  Friel would end the contest with her seventh kill of the night for the 15-10 set win and the upset victory.

Robinson finished the night with 19 kills and four blocks.  Matthews had 15 kills along with four blocks and a .324 hitting percentage.  Kiera Grandado had a team-high 31 sets along with 11 digs.  The Falcons had 91 digs in the contest while holding the TexAnns to just .179 hitting percentage.  With tonight's win the Falcons improved on last season's total by 10 setting a new school-record for best turnaround while making the postseason for the first time since 2011.  Coming into tonight the TexAnns were undefeated in conference play, losing only one set in their past seven conference matches.

The Falcons continue their season next Thursday on the Lone Star Conference playoffs where they will take on Texas A&M - Commerce.  More information about tickets and start time will be announced later.
