Game Changer

• Henderson State jumped out to an 11-6 lead early in the set, but the Rangers answered the early attack with a run of their own to bring the score evened up at 11-11. The match went back and forth until the end when the Aggies went on a 4-1 set to win the set 25-21.
•  The second set was one to forget for the Rangers as the Reddies capitalized on a 13-3 run and defeated the Rangers 25-11. The black-and-red would hang tough however and play their best set of the weekend in the third set of action. An efficient offense and a few Reddie mistakes allowed the Rangers to jump out to 17-11 lead, and finished Henderson State off with ease, 25-20.
• Early in the fourth set it looked as if a Ranger comeback would be impossible after the home team jumped out to a 15-7 lead. However, the Rangers wouldn't go down without a fight as they chipped away at the Reddie lead, first with a 6-1 stretch of points to bring the differential within three, and then a 7-3 run to get within one point of Henderson State. However, Northwestern committed two costly errors late in the set to allow the Henderson State victory.
