LIVINGSTON, Ala.-After digging a deep early hole, the Christian Brothers University Lady Bucs won in five sets at West Alabama Saturday morning to complete a perfect 3-0 week.

The Lady Bucs (10-8, 8-5 GSC) scored the first point of the match, but UWA (7-11, 6-7) scored the next 10 to take a commanding 10-1 lead, which they would extend en route to a 25-11 win in the first set. In the second set it was CBU who started with a bang, taking a 10-1 lead of their own and holding on to win 25-22 to even the match. The Lady Bucs took control of the match with a 25-20 win in the third set, but UWA used a late six-point run to take a 23-15 lead en route to a 25-18 win in the fourth set and force a decisive fifth set. The Lady Bucs jumped to a quick 8-1 lead in the fifth set and never allowed the Tigers closer than three points in a 15-8 win to complete the match.
