FORT WAYNE, Ind. - A pair of double-doubles from Katie Crowe and Nicole Rightnowar propelled the Fort Wayne women's volleyball team to its first Summit League victory of the season, defeating North Dakota State 3-1 (25-23, 14-25, 25-14, 25-18).
Rightnowar and Crowe each finished with 13 kills, as Rightnowar had a team-high 19 digs while Crowe had 18. Crowe also earned a match-high three aces. It was the sixth consecutive double-double for Rightnowar, while Crowe earned her second in-a-row.
Natalie Seiler added eight kills and four blocks for the Mastodons, as she eclipsed the 300 blocks mark for her career. She becomes only the 12th player in program history to reach 300 career blocks.
Sydney Boerst added six kills to go along with a team-high six blocks. Madison Jaqua led all players with 38 assists on the night. On the defensive side, Elizabeth Britner added 13 digs for the team.
Things were not going the Mastodon's way to begin the match as NDSU scored the first four points of the match. The 'Dons refused to give in, using a 5-0 run late in the set to take a 22-21 lead. Fort Wayne closed out the comeback victory with a kill from Rightnowar, and a double block by Boerst and Elizabeth Fuerst.
The 'Dons were unable to duplicate the comeback in the second as NDSU went up 8-3 early and didn't relent. Fort Wayne turned it around in the third set, running away with it and closing out the frame with a 5-0 run. The Mastodons trailed early in the fourth set. Down 12-8, the 'Dons responded with a 7-1 run to take the lead for good, and closed out the match with a 9-3 advantage.
