COMMERCE, Texas – Midwestern State geared up for the postseason in fine fashion Saturday as the Mustangs dusted Texas A&M-Commerce 25-18, 25-15, 23-25, 25-18 at the A&M-Commerce Fieldhouse.

"It's good to play like this going into the playoff season," MSU coach Venera Flores-Stafford said. "The girls are excited. If we can keep this intensity, we should be fine."

Midwestern State, which improved to 25-8 on the season and 9-4 in league play, opens the Lone Star Conference Volleyball Championship Thursday against Texas Woman's University at West Texas A&M Events Center ("The Box").

The Mustangs used a balanced attack to dispatch the Lions as freshman middle blocker Miranda Byrd led the way with 12 kills and committed just two errors in 22 attempts for a sizzling .455 attack percentage.

But senior senior setter Allison Schreiber, who finished with 48 assists and led the team to a .313 attack rate, spread the offense around as MSU had the best team hitting day since hitting .357 against Missouri Western State on Oct. 4.

Whitney Maxwell, Alysha Pritt and Jessica Ransom each had 11 kills, while Sesley Graves added 10 more.

Defensively, the Mustangs notched 56 digs and recorded eight total blocks to frustrate the Lions into a team attack percentage of .161.

Senior libero Shay Velasquez led the back-row effort with 20 digs, while Kiara Jordan added nine. Pritt and Schreiber also added six digs each.

Maxwell led the block party with four, while Pritt and Graves had three each.

Texas A&M-Commerce ends the regular season at 15-11 and 7-6. The Lions open the LSC Volleyball Championship against Tarleton State on Thursday.
