LSU (9-18, 4-12 Southeastern Conference) fell to Tennessee, 3-1, on Sunday afternoon in Knoxville’s Thompson-Boling Arena.
LSU, now, finds itself in a two-match losing streak. The rut comes a week after LSU had a two-match win streak.
The Volunteers (16-13, 6-10 SEC) dominated the first set with a score of 25-15 as Tennessee hit a .452 attack percentage compared to LSU’s at .125.
The Tigers bounced back and won the second set 27-25, but the momentum would not last.
The Volunteers won the third and fourth sets at 26-24 and 25-20, respectively.
Freshman outside hitter Sydney Mukes finished the day with 14 kills and a .520 hitting percentage — both career-high numbers for Mukes.
Junior Kelly Quinn accounted for 20 of LSU’s 53 total digs, while sophomore Katie Kampen recorded 10 digs of her own.
Sophomore Olivia Beyer and junior Toni Rodriguez each recorded nine kills apiece at the end of the four sets played.
LSU will play its final road match of the season when the Tigers travel to College Station, Texas, on Nov. 23 to take on Texas A&M.
