MUNCIE, Ind. - The IPFW Mastodon women's volleyball team overcame a slow first set to take the next two, eventually falling in five sets to the Ball State Cardinals in non-conference action on Wednesday evening.
Emily Spencer led the team with 14 kills, while Hallie Ripley added a dozen kills in the losing effort. Madison Spence dished out 34 assists with Jen Milligan picking up 16 digs. Spencer also led the team with six blocks, while Ripley and Sarah Heckman each had five blocks.
Ball State (3-1) jumped out quickly to a 6-0 advantage, and never looked back, while scoring the last 10 points of the stanza to close a 25-7 opening set.
The Mastodons (3-1) trailed for the majority of the second set, and were down 23-21 before out-scoring the Cardinals 6-2 the rest of the way to claim the 27-25 second-set win.
The third set was back-and-forth throughout; however, the Mastodons once again pulled away late, including using back-to-back points on Ball State attack errors to win the third set 28-26.
The Mastodons led early in the fourth set, until the Cardinals ran off an 11-5 run to turn an 119 IPFW lead into a 20-15 Ball State advantage.
In the deciding fifth set the hosts did not trail at any point, jumping out to a 3-0 lead, and closing the door with a 4-2 run to win the fifth set 15-9.
Alex Fuelling had a match-high 24 kills, while Mindy Marx had 15 and Kelly Hopkins 11. Kylee Baker had 18 digs, while Fuelling added 15 for the double-double.
The Mastodons next return to action on September 6 against UC Irvine at the Cleveland State Invitational.
