HUNTSVILLE, Texas \u2013<\/strong> Despite a strong second-set push that saw Louisiana Tech rally late to force extras, the Bulldogs could not overcome a series of early miscues in a 3-0 (25-19, 27-25, 25-12) loss to Sam Houston on Saturday afternoon inside Bernard G. Johnson Coliseum.
\n\u00a0
\nLA Tech (8-20, 1-13 CUSA) struggled to find rhythm in the opening set, committing 13 total errors \u2013 including eight from the service line. \u00a0After a timeout at 22-16, the Bulldogs scored three straight points to close the gap, but Sam Houston (10-17, 2-12 CUSA) responded with the final three to close out the frame, 25-19.
\n\u00a0
\nThe Bulldogs showed resilience in the second, battling back from a 23-19 deficit to even things up at 23-23 behind a pair of kills from Megan Cooley<\/a> and a timely block assist from Zari Gillispie<\/a> and Gabrielle Hairston<\/a>. \u00a0After fighting off a Bearkat match point, LA Tech briefly gained a 25-24 advantage before the Bearkats rattled off three consecutive points to escape with a 27-25 win.
\n\u00a0
\nMomentum stayed with the Bearkats in the third, as they opened with a 4-0 run and never looked back in route to a 25-12 victory to secure the sweep.
\n\u00a0
\nJailen Hurley<\/a> paced the Bulldogs with 10 kills on an efficient .714 hitting percentage, while Gillispie and Cooley each added seven kills. \u00a0Riley Steubing<\/a> anchored the back row with 13 digs.
