Box Score In the second of two games for Cal State San Marcos Volleyball at the APU Cougar Classic on Friday, CSUSM fell to The Master's College 3-1 (16-25, 20-25, 25-20, 17-25).
CSUSM falls to 2-2 in its first season of competition. Master's improves to 2-0.
The result was somewhat predictable, given the team's grueling five-set loss to #19 Oklahoma Baptist earlier in the day coupled with the fact that Coach Andrea Leonard's squad is competing without its full compliment of players.
The Cougars lost the last three sets of that Oklahoma Baptist match, and dropped the first two to Master's, 16-25 and 20-25.
CSUSM rallied to take the third set 25-20, winning 11 of the final 17 points to take the set. Taylor DeGraaf closed out the set with a kill, set up by Alyssa Foster.
Master's would close out the match in the fourth set though, taking it 25-17.
Foster led CSUSM with 36 assists, while DeGraaf's 15 kills topped the team.
The Cougars will close out play at their first-ever tournament on Saturday against Northwest (WA) at 10:00 AM.
