Volleyball fell in the same way to Texas A&M University- Kingsville, 3-0 at the Javelinas’ home in Kingsville, Texas.

On the men’s team, Isaac Chelimo placed third, Everett Wilder fifth, Fredrick Kipsang sixth and Raymond Mata tenth. The womens team noted two top ten finishes out of Brooke Farris at sixth and Caroline Cotsakis at eighth.
