Box Score MONROE—McNeese volleyball saw a different Louisiana-Monroe team here Sunday than the team they defeated in straight sets in Lake Charles on Friday.
 
ULM (8-5) took the match in four sets (25-23, 25-21,23-25, 25-15 behind solid blocking, something they didn't have on Friday.  As a team, the Warhawks were credited with 15 blocks on the day and on the other side of the net, the Cowgirls hit .097 overall. Beside the blocks, the Cowgirls committed 35 hitting errors which aided in their poor hitting percent.
 
"Credit to ULM, they really upped their level of play today and were not ready to go," said head coach Ashleigh Fitzgerald. "We did not receive well, and our offense- when we did pass well, couldn't get anything going."
 
The loss drops McNeese to 7-5 on the season and snapped it four match winning streak that began Sept. 10 against Texas Southern.
 
Alexis Lambert once again led McNeese with 15 kills while Caitlin Sharrock was credited with 25 assists along with14 digs. Angela McGownd led the Cowgirls with 19 digs while Lambert had 11 to give her a double double on the day.
 
"Overall it was just a very disappointing outing and we have to do some soul searching before we start conference Thursday. This group is capable of really playing well. We have to find consistency," said Fitzgerald.
 
McNeese will need to regroup quickly as they begin Southland Conference action Thursday at Southeastern Louisiana.
