For the second time in as many nights, Mexico volleyball was on the losing end of a North Central Missouri Conference match at home. After being swept by Fulton on Monday, the Lady Bulldogs lost 3-1 to Kirksville to drop both matches this season against the Lady Tigers. Mexico, though, looked sharp in the first set, taking it 25-23 before losing the final three 26-24, 25-18 and 25-21. Kirksville, who finished with 13 services aces, mounted an 11-1 rally at the end of the second set to come back and win it.
Mexico had a few standout performances, namely JaClynn Cline. She finished with 13 kills and five service aces. Mary Test had six kills, Emily Moppin had four kills and two aces, and Ava Herron recorded two aces.
