Box Score
FORT WAYNE, Ind. -- The Mastodons won their fifth-straight match on Friday night by defeating the South Dakota State Jackrabbits 3-0 (26-24, 25-20, 25-23). IPFW is now 4-1 in league play and 6-1 at the Gates Sports Center.
Emily Spencer recorded the 30th double-double of her career and the ninth of the season against South Dakota State ending the match with 14 kills and 15 digs. Spencer added four blocks, two service aces and an assist against the Jackrabbits.
All four IPFW seniors played well on Friday night. Haley Emenhiser recorded 10 kills and two digs while Jessie Manwaring connected on eight of her nine attempts, posting an attack percentage of .889. Megan Steenhuysen posted a match-high 46 assists, and Tessa McGill led all players with 20 digs.
Kendall Wienkes recorded a match-high 15 kills as she just missed a double-double with eight digs. Wienkes scored 17.5 points by adding a service ace and a pair of blocks.
The first set was tied three different times, but SDSU never took the lead as the Mastodons got off to a 1-0 start winning 26-24. The set was tied at 3-3, 14-14, and 24-24. It looked like IPFW would cruise to victory after holding a 24-20 edge, but the Jackrabbits charged back behind three-straight kills from Kaitlin Klingemann to tie the game at 24-24. Emily Spencer gave IPFW a one point cushion with her fourth kill of the set, and a SDSU attack error gave IPFW the win.
The Mastodons controlled the second set from the very start as an early 10-6 lead expanded into a 15-7 margin for IPFW, but SDSU would once again make a run to close the gap. The 'Dons called a timeout with a four point lead (20-16) and the Jackrabbits wouldn't get any closer giving IPFW a 2-0 advantage at the break.
IPFW jumped out to a 5-1 lead in the third set, but quickly found themselves trailing 16-12 after a string of attack errors. This time it was IPFW who had to fight back as they tied the score at 20-20 after a kill from Spencer. Wienkes gave IPFW a one point lead, and SDSU called a timeout to counter. IPFW never let up as they pushed their lead to 24-21 forcing the Jackrabbits to call their second timeout. SDSU scored twice out of the timeout, but the 'Dons completed the sweep with a 25-23 win off an SDSU attack error.
The Mastodons will host North Dakota State, the preseason favorites, here at the Gates Sports Center on Saturday night. The first set will begin at 7 p.m.
