Lubbock Christian 2, Bushnell 0 (10-13, 11-13)
The Beacons (2-1) took their first loss of the season on Wednesday night, falling to Lubbock Christian University (2-1). Trailing 12-8, in the second game, the Beacons fought off three match points to make it 12-11 before LCU secured the final point. The match wasn't without controversy as LCU committed a rulebook violation by taking a second tactical timeout as Bushnell was making its comeback at the end of game two. The violation resulted in a post-game official warning.
