The Tigers fell 3-1 (13-25, 29-27, 25-22, 16-25) to the Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa Friday night.
Auburn's (12-16, 4-11 SEC) eight service aces, the most since they defeated Georgia in the beginning of October, was not enough to stop Alabama's offense at Foster Auditorium.
The Tide (23-6, 11-4 SEC) hit .369 with 70 kills to Auburn's .217 and 40 kills.
Sophomore Breanna Barksdale led a strong Tigers' defense that out-blocked Alabama 9-4.
Barksdale's six blocks in the match gave her a total of 96 rejections this season. Two more and the sophomore will be second in Auburn's record book for single-season blocks. Junior Alyssa Ivey led the Tigers with 15 digs.
Sophomore Stephanie Campbell led Auburn on offense with 12 kills on 25 attempts for a team-high .440, and recorded a season-high three assists. Freshman Courtney Crable chipped in nine kills and two aces.
Alexa Filley, Auburn's record holder in single-season assists, had 30. The freshman also chipped in six digs, two blocks and an ace.
Auburn will take on LSU in Baton Rouge, Louisiana for its final away match this season on Sunday at 1 p.m.
