AUSTIN, Texas – Sarah Ghormley and Alyssa Legette each had personal-best achievements and recorded double-doubles, but it was not enough for the Concordia Texas volleyball team, falling to Southwestern in a five-set heartbreaker on Wednesday.

The Tornados closed out their four-game homestand, welcoming non-conference foe Southwestern into town. Concordia Texas jumped out to an 2-0 set advantage, but were unable to close out the match, falling in five sets 26-24, 25-21, 26-28, 17-25, 8-15.

Ghormley and Legette had record-setting double-double nights. Ghormley totaled a career-best 26 kills and added 10 digs, while Legette set personal-bests with 46 assists and 15 digs in a losing effort.

In the opening set, there were 17 ties and five lead changes between the two teams.

Ghormley and Kylexus Block guided the Tornados to an opening set win. Ghormley racked up six kills in the frame, while Block, defensively, recorded six digs.

In the following set, CTX won the first four points and never looked back in a wire-to-wire win. Ghormley continued to dominate at the net, hitting at a .400 mark and recording seven kills in the frame as the Tornados went up 2-0 in the match.

Concordia Texas opened the third set with a 5-0 spurt, capped off by a Block kill. Southwestern cut down the Tornados' advantage though and took a lead of their own at 11-8.

Neither team would take a lead larger than two late in the frame, recording six ties.

Concordia Texas staved off three set points, but were unable to ever retake the lead as the Pirates made it 2-1 in the match.

Ghormley and Block combined for nine kills in the fourth frame, but it was not as SU evened the match at 2-all and forced a decisive fifth set.

In the fifth, the Tornados fell behind 8-1 before chipping away to make it 8-5 after Jaya McCarty's kill.

The Pirates reeled off four straight points though and went on to win the match 3-2.

Block finished the night with a game-high 24 digs and added 19 kills at the net for her fifth double-double of the season, while Kaitlyn Ruiz had a near double-double of her own with 11 digs and six assists.
