A team effort propelled Texas State (4-1) to a 3-0 sweep (25-18, 25-20, 25-21) over Houston Baptist (1-4) Friday night inside Strahan Arena, igniting the beginning of a new winning streak for the Bobcats.
Deception was the game used by coach Sean Huiet and his team as they used decoy strikers in order to free up their outside hitters for kills on multiple occasions. Senior middle blocker Tyeranee Scott excelled at selling the jump in the middle of the floor, allowing junior right side Janell Fitzgerald a clean kill, giving the Bobcats a 14-12 lead in the first set.
The team saw a significant increase in offensive efficiency relative to their loss against UTEP last weekend. Texas State got hot in the first set recording its third-highest kill percentage of the season at .410% in a 25-18 first set win.
