Serving aces for the Lady Horns were Ariah Engel-3, Brooke Lemmel-1, Jayden Shoemaker-1 and Allix Vance-1.

With their backs to the wall the Lady Horns responded, downing the Cowgirls in the next three sets 26-24, 25-20, and 25-14. Freshman Ariah Engel served 3 aces in the victory.
With the victory over Lemmon, the Lady Longhorns will advanced to the round of 16, facing the four seeded Philip Scotties. They beat the Scotties in five games to advance the State Tournament in Rapid City, November 16-18.
