The Lady Colts dropped their first two sets in hard-fought fashion, 26-25 and 25-22, before dominating Midland in sets three and four, 25-11 and 25-14. The deciding set was another close one, with Arlington winning 15-12.
On Saturday, the Lady Colts lost their area-round game to Amarillo in three straight sets to end the season.
Lamar and Martin lost in the bi-district round, but each managed to claim a set from its opponent. Lamar lost 3-1 to San Angelo Central, and Martin lost 3-1 to Abilene.
