The NEO A&M Volleyball team lost a battle last night in the semi-finals of the Region 6 district match.  Led by Freshman Jaynea Manning with 22 kills and 18 digs hitting at .333, Sophomore Kaesha Walter with 12 kills and 18 digs, Sophomore Karsen Hart with 12 kills, and Sophomore Brooke Walker with 49 assists. "We lost to the  #6 team in the nation tonight by a total of 5 points. We had a great crowd and our student section is bar none the best in the region.  Our girls showed heart and just didn't get the breaks they needed at the right time.  Any other night the scores of the match could have been reversed.  The coaching staff is beyond proud of this group.  We have accomplished alot this season and still have a chance at an at-large bid.  They take 16 automatic bids and add 4 at-large bids to the National tourney held in Cedar Rapids" stated head coach Sarah Wall.  The NJCAA tourney announcement will happen live on Wednesday at 2:00PM Central.  "We will definitely be having a watch party in the O Club this Wednesday! Being ranked in the Top 25 in the nation all season long will help us along with our strength of schedule. To be the best, you have to play the best and we showed last night how good we are.It's out of our hands at this point, and we will keep rowing if the NJCAA selection committee allows us to do so.
