WEATHERFORD, Okla. – The Arkansas Tech volleyball team opened their lone trip to Oklahoma on Thursday night at Southwestern Oklahoma in Weatherford. The Golden Suns would lose to the Bulldogs, 3-0.

Set three saw the Golden Suns jump out to an early lead, but a 7-1 run by SWOSU flipped the lead in favor of the Bulldogs. Tech was able to bounce back and tied the score at 10-all, but a second big run was turned in by SWOSU giving them a lead they wouldn't relinquish.
Kaitlyn Neal and
Savannah Meyer led the team in kills with six each.
Kenzie Garrett paced the team in assists with 12.
