Midwestern took control of the opening set by claiming four of the last five points of the stanza keyed by consecutive ENMU ball handling errors and a service error to give the Mustangs the early advantage.
MSU raced out to a 21-10 lead in the second set while blitzing the ball at a .448 clip with 14 total kills with one attack error in 29 attempts.
The Mustangs broke open the third set with a 6-1 run keyed by senior libero

Midwestern State takes on West Texas A&M Saturday afternoon at D.L. Ligon Coliseum. First serve is set for 2 p.m.
