ARLINGTON – The Sam Houston volleyball team was stretched to five sets for the fifth straight match and closed out its trip to the Maverick Classic on a high note with a 3-2 win over host UT Arlington on Saturday at the College Park Center.
 
Breanne Chausse made the most of her return to the metroplex with 22 kills, pacing a Bearkat (6-1) attack that hit .225 for the match. She added 11 digs for her second straight double-double.
 
She was the favorite target for setter Morgan Janda who set a career high with 58 assists, helping not only Chausse, but Ashley Lewis (18 kills) and Catherine Krieger (17 kills) all find their way into double figures.
 
Lewis and Janda each finished with double-doubles, but it was Hannah Baker who led the defense with a team-high 25 digs.
 
The Kats will now turn their attention to next weekend where they will take on Rice and LSU in Houston at the Adidas Invitational II.
