Austin (4-22 overall) played even with the Tigers early on, but it couldn’t keep the pace.
Austin senior Amber Hansen had three kills and Awenia Nywesh had three blocks.
“I thank the seniors,” Austin head coach Cindy Owen said. “They did a nice job with senior leadership this year and we wish them the best. I hope the returning girls will work hard in the offseason.”
