EDMOND, OK - Western Colorado bested the Jets in 4 sets Saturday afternoon.  Newman took the first set, but were frustrated offensively after that.  Jose Lugo's team sits at 4-2 as they begin preparation for their MIAA play.  The Mountaineers are 5-3 after edging out the Jets .211 to .148 in hitting percentages.

The Jets have welcomed offensive power from freshman Riley Daugherty who finished the weekend with 64 kills adding 10 today in the loss.  Daugherty also had 79 digs in the 4 matches.  She recorded a double double in each of the matches.

Salome Romp led the Jets on Saturday with 16 kills.  Romp is hitting .212 and leads the team with 97 kills.

Libero Paiton Haga has been solid in the back row for the Jets.  She amassed 28 digs against the Mountaineers and leads with 118 on the season.

Newman was unable to bury their hits as they had been able to prior to their match against the Mountaineers.  As the Jets head into conference play, they will look to increase their offensive efficiency.

Up next for Newman is a trip to Missouri Southern State on Saturday, September 17 with first serve at 6 PM.
