ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The Grambling State Lady Tigers dropped both matches on Saturday in the final day of the MCM Elegante Classic on the campus of the University of New Mexico.
The Lady Tigers (0-3) opened play on Saturday with a 3-0 loss to eventual tournament champion New Mexico. All three games were even in the beginning but several costly errors by Grambling State allowed New Mexico to pull away and create a large cushion midway through each game.

In their classic finale, the Lady Tigers opened with a 30-22 victory over Florida Atlantic but failed to sustain their momentum as the Owls won three consecutive games en route to defeating GSU 3-1.


Kendra Johnson led GSU with 10 kills while Talon Morgan logged 32 assists. Kayla Williams posted 11 assists followed by eight each from Ashley Cooper and Morgan. Morgan, a 5-8 setter from Kountze, Texas, earned All-Tournament honors for her play on the court this past weekend.

GSU returns to action on Wednesday, Aug. 29 with a 6 p.m. home match-up versus Wiley College in Memorial Gymnasium.
