Box Score Another game, another big night for Analise Lucio.  The senior recorded her fifth double-double of the season with a team-high 26 assists and 11 digs at West Texas A&M Friday night.
 
The teams traded points off the bat with neither side able to swing momentum.  The Falcons were the first to grab momentum and took a two-point lead thanks to a 5-1 run with a pair of kills by Taurie Magee.  A three-point Falcon run had them within three points of taking the opening set.  It wasn't to be as the Lady Buffs closed the set on a 7-0 run to take it.
 
The Falcons opened the second set with a pair of long runs, but the Lady Buffs kept pace with runs of their own.  It was the Lady Buffs who slowly pulled away to take the second set.  The Falcons fell behind early in the third set but began to slowly chip away.  The Falcons trailed by as many as six before reeling in the Lady Buffs.  They cut the deficit to as low as three, but that's as close as they'd get in the final set.
 
Aquincia Strambler led the offense with 10 kills to go along with five digs.  Magee finished the night with eight kills and a block in the middle.  The Falcons had 53 digs as a team, spreading them out amongst 10 different players.
