FOLEY, Ala. – No. 15 Texas State (21-2) opened pool play with a solid sweep over the No. 6 seed in the West Division, ULM (1-21), 25-18, 25-14, 25-17 on Wednesday afternoon at the Foley Event Center.
 
For the seventh time this season, the Bobcats record a .300 hitting percentage or better after logging a .311 clip behind 38 kills on 90 swings and 10 errors. They also held ULM to a .116 clip. TXST also served well and totaled eight aces to mark the third time this season the team has had eight or more aces.
 
"I thought it was a great start to the tournament," said head coach Sean Huiet. "We started slow in the first two sets, but I thought we served very well and that helped separate ourselves. I also thought Jill [Slaughter] had a great day and was very effective."
