November 13, 2016 | Volleyball
BATON ROUGE, La. – In the final match away from Starkville this season, the Mississippi State Bulldogs (12-17, 4-11) fell in straight sets to the LSU Tigers (9-16, 4-10) at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.
The opening set saw the birthday duo of Evie Grace Singleton and Jelena Vujcin lead the way with five kills each. MSU jumped out to a 7-4 lead before LSU went on a 12-6 run and won the set 25-21.
The teams traded points for most of the second set until an 8-2 LSU run ultimately made the difference, as the Tigers took the set 25-23. Freshman Emily Hill paced the Bulldogs in kills with four in the set and added an ace.
Coming out the locker room, LSU jumped out to a 10-4 advantage. The Bulldogs would rally late and pull to within three points. However, the Tigers held strong and closed out the match, 25-20.
Singleton continues to add to her historic season, earning 16 more kills and 2 service aces. She now stands tied for second with Jennifer Shupe (1996) with 447 kills this year. Hill and Vujcin joined Singleton in the double-digit kill category with 12 and 10, respectively. Senior Bali Leffall-Young led the Bulldogs on the defensive end with two blocks, while Cheyenne Spell added a team-high 11 digs.
The Bulldogs return home to close out the 2016 season with three matches to go. MSU and in-state rival Ole Miss will battle on Wednesday, Nov. 16 at 7 p.m. CT on the SEC Network.
