HONOLULU, HI — Prior to an athletic event, every coaching staff wants to find that strategic advantage. Or an area of the playing surface that'll provide an opportunity for positive results.
In a three-set match against No. 23 UCLA (3-1) on Friday evening, that area was more of a position group for the Texas State (3-2) volleyball coaching staff. More specially, the Bobcats' middle blockers.
Of Texas State's 31 total kills versus the Bruins, Tessa Marshall and Jillian Slaughter combined for 15 or 48.4 percent of the team's kill total.
