AC adds another program first in loss to No. 10 NMMI

Despite a four-set defeat (25-23, 25-23, 18-25, 25-18) in Roswell on Oct. 1 against 10th ranked New Mexico Military Institute, AC etched another program-first achievement on their resume.

The Badgers' third-set victory marked the first time AC was able to take a set from the Broncos in Roswell since the reboot of athletics at AC.

AC led 18-15 during the first set and 19-15 in the second set, but were unable to close out the frames in front of a packed house at the Cahoon Armory.

AC showed significant offensive improvement in the third set with a match-best .375 hitting percentage. Freshman Chayse Wilson had three kills at a .429 clip while Galligan and Bryan recorded a .500 hitting percentage with six combined kills.

Amarillo native Yuna NG put forth one of her top performances of the seasons with eight kills and zero hitting errors on 15 swings (.533 clip). Bryan had seven kills and Galligan led AC with nine kills.

Jackson paced AC in the block department with four stuffs.
