Box Score AUSTIN - The Texas State women's volleyball team continued its 2018 historic season when the Bobcats defeated the Rice Owls in four sets to advance to the Second Round of the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history, Thursday night, at Gregory Gym.
The victory comes after Texas State won its first Sun Belt Conference regular season championship and first Sun Belt Championship tournament since 2013, the first year in the league for the Bobcats.
The Bobcats opened Thursday's match a little nervous when they dropped the first set 25-23 as Rice used an 8-3 run midway through the set to take a 20-18 lead.
