The Lions continued their winning ways in 1987. Coach Goodlett led A&M-Commerce volleyball to her third 30-win season in five seasons, a 9-1 conference record, a second Lone Star Conference Championship, and consecutive appearances in the NCAA Division II South Regional. Their only conference loss came against West Texas A&M, whom they then beat later in the season. The 1987 season was ended in the second round of the South Regional tournament by Central Missouri, whom the Lions lost to in four sets.

The Lions were dominant on the court and in the scorebook. Two Lions broke the 300 kill ceiling, with Alice Fortes hitting 354 kills and Angie Neylon just behind with 300. Paulette Pilcik had 1,017 assists, and the rest of the Lions had a total of 248 assists. Neylon led the way in digs with 381, and Fortes was just behind with 364. Fortes led the Lions in total blocks with 186, and Neylon had 146.

Five Lions earned accolades in 1987, including the last two All-American recognitions Lions volleyball would receive until 2001. Alice Fortes snagged her first AVCA All-American award, and Paulette Pilcik was named a second-team AVCA All-American for the second year in a row. Both Fortes and Pilcik were named to the first team AVCA All-Region, as well as First Team All-LSC. Angie Buantello, Teresa McLain, and Angie Neylon were all named to the Second Team All-LSC. Fortes, McLain, and Pilcik each earned a
spot on the All-LSC Academic team as well.
