LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech volleyball fell to Washington State, 3-0, in their second match of the Lone Star Showdown on Friday night at the United Supermarkets Arena.
The Cougars (10-1) defeated the Red Raiders (10-3) in straight sets: 22-25, 14-25 and 18-25.
Senior Jenna Allen matched a season-high in kills and digs en route to her second double-double of the season, tallying 13 kills along with 12 digs. Earlier in the day, she turned in a strong performance of nine kills in the win over Portland State.
It was her 11th double-double of her career. Her first of the season was also at home against Houston on Aug. 29, when she put up 13 kills and 10 digs.
The Red Raiders dropped a close first set, 25-22, posting 14 kills with a hitting percentage of .294. Douglass quickly racked up five kills in the first frame behind a clip of .714. Grubb assisted on 10 of Tech's 14 kills, grabbing one of her own to go along with her six digs.
Allen posted four kills for Tech in the second set, giving her nine after two. At the half, three Red Raiders had at least five digs: Carlie Foust (8), Grubb (7) and Akiu (5). Tech only put up nine kills in set two, with Grubb assisting on each kill.
Tech fell behind in the third set, 12-7, before a 7-0 run by the Red Raiders sparked by kills from Allen, Alyssa Ybanez and Marguerite Grubb gave Tech new life midway through the frame. However, a 6-0 swing by the Cougars secured the victory for Washington State.
Allen's 12 digs were a team-high for Tech, but senior Carlie Foust and freshman Reyn Akiu each followed closely behind with 11.
The Red Raiders return for the final match of the Lone Star Showdown on Saturday, Sept. 19, at 1:30 p.m. against Northwestern State at the United Supermarkets Arena.
