Volleyball season is under way in 2008 and the Lady Panthers team played in Waco Aug. 29-30. The Panthers played against three tough opponents in Lamar, SMU, and Baylor. In their first day of competition the Panthers faced Lamar. Cheri Lindsay led the team in digs with 14 and had four kills. Despite her efforts, as well as Sarah Mayweather who had five kills and Nicole Thompson who had three kills and nine digs, the Panthers were defeated in straight sets.
On their second match of the tournament the Panthers battled Baylor. In these matches Nicole Thompson had three kills and five digs, while Sarah Mayweather added in four kills. Sharonda Marshall had four kills and two digs, Michelle Paul led the team with nine digs and Shaun Williams added four kills as well but it was not enough to hold off Baylor and the Panthers lost their second consecutive match of the tournament.
Despite losing their first two matches the Panthers were determined to win and refused to be an easy out in the tournament. Their last chance to leave the tournament with a victory was a match against SMU. Cheri Lindsay led the way with six kills and had four digs. Erin Fondel had two kills and led the team in digs with eight while Nicole Thompson did her part with two kills and six digs to try and get the Panthers a victory, but their efforts were to no avail and the Panthers lost to SMU. Shaun Williams and Sharonda Marshall both had five kills and Jessica Adedipe contributed four digs in the match.
