ABILENE, Texas— The Wildcats put together an all-around team win in their conference home opener on Thursday afternoon against McNeese. Weather forced the match to be moved to an earlier time of 3 p.m. but ACU still came out ready to play. Mueller notched her fourth double-double in five matches and led the way as ACU earned the four-set victory.
ACU made quick work of the first two sets, winning 25-16 and 25-18, and held the commanding 2-0 set lead. The Cowgirls made a small run at the end of the second set that helped them carry momentum into set three. McNeese got out to a 7-5 lead in the third before the Wildcats were able to respond with a 7-2 run of their own to take a three-point lead. The Cowgirls were able to respond with a run of their own and capped off a set three win with a dominant block. The Wildcats opened the fourth set 7-2, aided by two aces from Mueller. McNeese was able to get back in it and keep the match close, but with the set tied 21-21 ACU ran off four-straight points to win the set and match.
