Lady Panthers dominate on senior night
The outside hitter combination of junior Candyce Alexander and freshman Lenicia Tyson proved deadly for the Lady Panthers in a solid 3-1 (25-9, 23-25, 25-16, 25-12) win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Halloween night in the William Nicks Building.
Tyson set a career-high with 17 kills and a .517 attack percentage while Alexander continued her off the charts play in the month of Oct. and finished with 16 kills and 13 digs for a beast-like double-double.
Not to be outdone on senior night, setter Kelsey Espinosa put together a career-defining performance in her final Southwestern Athletic Conference game in the William Nicks Building. She nearly recorded a triple-double all the while coordinating the Lady Panthers offense to a convincing win. Espinosa dished out 39 assists and set a new career-high with nine kills off of 16 attacks. She complemented her offensive performance with 12 digs as one of three Prairie View A&M players to finish with a double-double.
Espinosa's kills were a direct result of the player of teammate and fellow setter Monecia Preston, who also had one of her best career games on senior night. She set up Espinosa with most of her attacks and finished with 12 assists and 14 digs. Senior middle blocker Janette Batista turned in seven kills with a team-high four total blocks. Meanwhile junior libero LaKeisha Allen did her job defensively with 17 digs to lead the team.
The Lady Panthers will play hosts to Big 12 opponent Texas Christian University at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 6 in their home-finale in the William Nicks Building.
