MSU v.s. TCU Rugby looks for support JAMES PIERCE STAFF REPORTER
Not since the 2003-2004 season has the Texas Christian University Rugby Team visited MSU. In that season TCU owned MSU and went 3-0, defeating us twice in the regular season and again in the Collegiate Division III Championship Game. MSU still has a sour taste in their mouth from being swept by their renewed division rival. They get their chance for redemption this Saturday, Oct. 21 at 2 p.m. at the intramural fields. This is MSUʼs first Collegiate Division II Western Division match of the season. They are looking forward to getting a fresh start in conference play after losing three weeks ago in a friendly match against San Angelo State.

Rachel Gilmore added eight kills and Allison Schreiber served up 22 assists for the Lady Mustangs in the win. The game was a breeze from the start, as MSU jumped all over the small intercollegiate school. Already short on depth, seven Tiger players logged minutes against the Lady Mustangʼs 13. Misti Lovett led PQC with six kills and six digs, while Dominique
White and Latisha Hickmon added four kills. The Lady Mustangs finished with a solid .506 attack percentage compared to a miserable -.143 percentage from the Tigers. The volleyball team also hosted a game in D.L Ligon Coliseum Saturday, falling to Central Oklahoma 3-2. Johnson again led the charge with 14 kills, while Lacey Lanier and Ransom chipped in 13 kills a piece. Schreiber finished with 53 assists and Gilmore had eight kills and blocks in the losing effort.
MSU’s Allison Schreiber, 21, sets up teammate Sesley Graves, 4, on a play against Paul Quinn College Tuesday night in D.L. Ligon Coliseum. The Lady Mustangs handled the Lady Tigers in three sets snapping a five-game losing streak. MSU will travel to take on Texas A&M-Commerce Thursday night at 7 p.m.
