The No. 9 SMU volleyball team took down the Miami Hurricanes 3-1 at Moody Coliseum on Friday Nov. 15. The No. 37 Miami Hurricanes arrived in Dallas on a four-game winning streak, prepared to make the Mustangs work for the win.
The first set saw Miami take the lead as they challenged the Mustang defense. The Hurricanes placed balls on the perimeter of SMU’s court, forcing the Mustang defense to hustle to keep up. SMU took a timeout at 12-15 with Miami ahead, presumably to regroup their defense.
“It’s not from lack of effort, we needed to make some adjustments and play a little bit better small-ball,” SMU head coach Sam Erger said regarding set one.
