Cameron University's young volleyball players grew up a little Saturday by fighting off Texas A&M-Commerce for a 3-1 Lone Star Conference victory in the Aggie gym.

Scores were 25-18, 28-26, 18-25 and 25-15.

The Ags couldn't sustain that momentum in the second game of the doubleheader, blowing a two-set advantage and a five-point fifth-set lead before losing a non-conference  struggle to St. Mary's.

Scores were 19-25, 21-25, 25-22, 25-20 and 19-17.

Cameron improved to 2-5 in conference play and is 6-11 overall. Commerce is now 4-3 and 12-4. St. Mary's is 10-5..

The Aggies close out a four-game home stand when they host Midwestern State at 7 p.m. Tuesday. Next action in the CU gym will be Oct. 12-13.
