LIVINGSTON, Ala. – Shorter posted a .181 attack percentage while holding West Alabama volleyball to .086 to defeat the Tigers 3-1 in Gulf South Conference action on Monday.

"I made some calls tonight that, I think, ended up costing us," said UWA head volleyball coach Jordan Lay.

"This loss falls on me as a coach. I have to do a better job of putting this team in a better position to be successful and I felt like I didn't do that tonight. This loss is a tough one to take, but we need to rebound quick as we head to Valdosta tomorrow."
