BEAUMONT, Texas – Prairie View A&M wrapped up play at the Katrinka Crawford Invitational hosted by Lamar, falling to Oral Roberts in three sets (11-25, 18-25, 11-25) Saturday.

"After the losses this weekend we now know exactly what we need to work on," said head PVAMU TaCho Tyler.  "It will take a collaborative team effort to get us going in the right direction,"

How it happened:
The Lady Panthers got off to a slow start in set one and were never able to get a good rally going against ORU as they scored five consecutive points to take a 20-7 advantage.  The set ended 25-11.
 
Set two was a better look for PVAMU as they rallied back, ramping up the offense to keep the score tight, but at 15-11 Oral Roberts went on a five point run to take a 19-11 lead.  The Lady Panthers continued to rally, but ran out of time, falling 25-18.
 
The third set looked identical to set one as Prairie View A&M faltered 25-11.
 
Sophomore Lauren Allen led the charge on the offense with seven kills to pace the Lady Panthers.  Freshmen Tiffiney Booe and Kiersten Atkinson each had four kills for PVAMU.  Junior Libero Skyla Childs led PV with 10 digs.  Junior Jakarta Hope dished out 14 assists.
 
The Lady Panthers will return to action on Tuesday, August 31 for their home opener as they host the Houston Baptist Huskies.  Game time is set at 6:30 p.m. from the William J. Nicks Building
