The third set was tightly contested, with both teams exchanging four ties early on. However, Texas A&M took advantage of several errors from Ole Miss and began to pull away. Washington added two more kills to keep Ole Miss in the game, but the Aggies secured the set 25-18.

After gaining the lead, Texas A&M came out strong in the fourth set, forcing Ole Miss to call both of their timeouts early. In an effort to spark her team, head coach Bre Henry brought in Emma Ammerman, a transfer from Pepperdine. Ammerman provided a burst of energy, scoring three quick kills, but it wasn’t enough. Texas A&M clinched the match with a 25-18 victory in the set.

The Rebels will return to action this weekend, traveling to Athens, Ga., to face Georgia on Sunday at 12 p.m. CT. The match will be broadcast on the SEC Network.
