DENTON — Rhett Robinson tallied 14 kills, Kaliegh Skopal accumulated 28 assists and five aces, and the North Texas Mean Green took down Southern Miss in a sweep (25-15, 25-16, 25-21) on Friday night.
The first set remained close in the early stages, though North Texas kept the pace, but never led by more than five points until the latter stages. The Mean Green went up 15-13 before closing the set on a 10-2 run.
In the second frame, North Texas shot off to a 9-4 lead, forcing Southern Miss to take a timeout. The offensive pressure was put on to the point of a 19-8 advantage for the Mean Green, before Southern Miss fought back in it with a 6-0 run. However, North Texas slammed the door shut with late kills from Rhett Robinson.
The third set proved to be much closer, with both teams trading points to 6-6 before North Texas opened up a 8-0 run to grab momentum in the frame for good. The Golden Eagles pushed back somewhat late in the frame, but couldn't overcome the Mean Green who closed out the set with a kill from Truli Levy.
The Mean Green continue their weekend series with Southern Miss tomorrow at 12 p.m., looking to improve on a three game conference winning streak. You can watch the action live on CUSA.tv, or follow along with all @MeanGreenVB social channels.
