WEATHERFORD, Okla. – Midwestern State received a big-time defensive performance by Shay Velasquez to go with an up-tempo attack to blister Southwestern Oklahoma State 30-17, 30-21, 30-17 Saturday afternoon at Southwestern Oklahoma State University Wellness Center.

Velasquez recorded 25 digs as the Mustangs recovered from a three-game loss against Central Oklahoma earlier in the week to improve to 15-3 on the season and 3-1 in Lone Star Conference play.

"I'm glad we could recover from the way we played on Thursday," MSU coach Venera Flores-Stafford said. "We learned a lot from that loss and I think it will help us as we go through the season."

Junior Whitney Maxwell and sophomore Alysha Pritt paced a pack of three Mustangs with double-figure kills with 11 each, while senior Krissa Johnson added 10.

Midwestern limited the Bulldogs (7-10, 0-2) to a .129 hitting percentage, while recording a .378 of its own.

Junior setter Allison Schreiber paced the MSU attack with 43 assists.

The Mustangs play host to Cameron Thursday night at D.L. Ligon Coliseum with a 7:30 p.m. start time.
