NEW ORLEANS – Tulane volleyball (17-6, 9-4) suffered its third consecutive loss Friday night as it fell 1-3 to Memphis (10-14, 5-8) inside Avron B. Fogelman Arena in the Devlin Fieldhouse. The Green Wave and the Tigers tied in digs (73) and kills (54), but Memphis finished with eight service aces to just three from the Wave.
With the loss, Tulane dropped to 8-2 at home this season falling for the first time in Uptown since the season-opener against North Dakota State. The defeat also moved the Green Wave to 29-34 all-time against Memphis and 15-14 at home against the Tigers.
Lauryn Mack led a trio of players for the Wave with double figures in kills against Memphis. Mack finished with a team-high 14 kills and 10 digs to record her ninth double-double of the season. Following her were Avery Burks and Chloe List who each added 10 kills in the match.
Charlee Solomon set up the attack for Tulane notching 44 assists to go with 12 digs for her 13th double-double of the year. She also tallied four kills and a team-high three blocks.
Defensively, Makena Lim led the Green Wave with 24 digs. She has recorded double figures in digs 16 times this year including 11 consecutive matches. Joining Lim with double-digit digs for the Green Wave were Ortiz with 12, Solomon with 12, and Mack with 10.
Tulane pulled in front to start the match in the opening set eventually building a 12-9 advantage. The Wave took a 15-13 lead into the media timeout, but the Tigers came out of the break on the attack. Memphis mounted a 6-1 scoring run to put Tulane behind 16-19.
The Green Wave battled back to even the score at 21-21 and 22-22 down the stretch of the first set. However, the Tigers closed the frame with the final three points as the Wave fell 22-25 in the set.
In the second set Tulane and Memphis went back and forth trading the lead nine times while meeting in 12 separate ties throughout the frame. The Green Wave broke the final tie of the set (17-17) by scoring seven-straight points to reach set-point before Burks eventually clinched the frame 25-21 with a kill.
Burks led the way for the Wave in the second set as she tallied five kills while Mack followed with four. Tulane held the Tigers to an attack percentage of just .024 in the frame collecting 16 digs and four total blocks.
Memphis claimed the early advantage in the third set until the Green Wave put together a 5-1 run to take a 7-5 lead. After the Wave pulled in front the two teams began trading points exchanging the lead a pair of times before meeting in a tie at 17-17.
A kill by Burks broke the tie in favor of Tulane, but the Tigers responded with three-straight points to put the Wave behind 18-20. The Green Wave tried to battle back to reclaim the lead, however, the final two points of the frame went to Memphis as the Wave dropped the set 22-25.
The fourth frame was another back-and-forth affair between the Wave and the Tigers as the two teams exchanged points. Tulane and Memphis met in 16 separate ties throughout the set, until the Tigers made the final push to break the final tie at 21-21.
