BOBCAT BITS CHISUM APPROACHING 800 CAREER VICTORIES
Texas State Head Coach Karen Chisum is rapidly approaching 800 career victories. She heads into this weekend just two wins shy of 800 with 798 career victories. The Bobcats have gone on a three-match winning streak and won four of the team’s last five matches to build momentum. Chisum could reach 800 in San Marcos with two wins over the next three matches against UALR, Georgia State and Troy. Her last landmark victory was her 750th win over Seattle on Sept. 29, 2012, and she won her 700th game with a 3-0 sweep over Prairie View A&M on Sept. 7, 2010.
MAHONEY RETURNS
Senior setter Caylin Mahoney saw her first action of the 2014 season on the road against UL Lafayette and South Alabama. After being named the Sun Belt Conference’s 2014 Preseason Setter of the Year, she suffered a broken finger that shelved her for most of the season. However, in her return, she led the Bobcats to a 3-2 victory over UL Lafayette for the team’s first win on the road since Sept. 27. After that, in a 3-1 victory over South Alabama, Mahoney was one kill shy of a triple-double and just three blocks and a kill shy of a quadruple-double. She’s quickly rounding back into form for the Bobcats and just in time.
