FORT WAYNE, Ind. – The Purdue Fort Wayne men's volleyball team fell 3-1 (23-25, 25-16, 34-32, 25-19) to No. 10 Ohio State on Thursday (Feb. 16) evening on Arnie Ball Court at the Gates Sports Center.
The homecoming crowd was treated to a high-level Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association contest which seemed destined to go five sets before an Ohio State rally in the third set and a late push in the fourth gave the match to the Buckeyes.
Jon Diedrich had a match-high 20 kills with four blocks and four digs for the 'Dons. Mark Frazier added 14 kills. Zach Solomon recorded 45 assists for the 'Dons in his first consistent work at setter this season. Ohio State out-hit the 'Dons .289 to .264 with Jacob Pasteur putting down 19 kills with two aces for the Buckeyes.
The 'Dons won set one after trailing 20-19. A key point came on a Solomon ace to put the 'Dons up 23-21. The two-point lead allowed the 'Dons to trade points the rest of the set to win the frame.
Ohio State controlled set two to even the match.
The two teams played a dramatic third set where both teams hit .333. The Mastodons were the first to earn a set point at 24-23. Ohio State denied five straight Mastodon set points before earning their first set point of the frame at 29-28. The 'Dons denied four of them, until an Ohio State block gave the Buckeyes the set at 34-32. Diedrich had five kills during the extra points for the 'Dons.
Purdue Fort Wayne led set four 18-16 until a 9-1 Ohio State run gave the set and the match to the Buckeyes.
Ohio State improves to 10-3 (3-0 MIVA). Purdue Fort Wayne falls to 10-3 (1-2 MIVA). The 'Dons are back in action on Saturday (Feb. 18) against No. 11 Ball State.
