In their second match-up of the season against North Dakota, the Lady Broncs dropped a 3-0 decision to the Fighting Sioux this Thursday (Oct. 8) afternoon at the UTPA Fieldhouse.

"The girls showed some positives tonight with the way they played defense. They showed some fight and that's something we've been working on. As a team, we need to figure out how to be a bit more aggressive and be able to terminate the ball. If we do that, we will be in good shape," said head women's volleyball coach Angela Hubbard.
