Next the Lady Longhorns faced off against Leyton, a team they lost a close match to start the season. Kimball came out fired up and took the first set 25-to-17. But Leyton responded by winning the second set 25-to-14 and then outlasting the Lady Longhorns in a marathon third set, finally pulling out the 29-to-27 win for the 2-to-1 match victory. Paxton again led the offense with 8 kills in the loss.

Kimball was scheduled to travel to Pine Bluffs on Tuesday for a non-conference match against the Lady Hornets.
