Against a former rival from the Conference Carolinas, Noah Melendez dug out a season-high 10 Trojans attacks. The Mastodons' 29 digs were also a season-high.
Diedrich led the way in the opening set, hammering down five kills. The 'Dons had to fight back from a four-point deficit early on, but Wilmer Hernandez' service elevated the Mastodons to a 19-16 lead. The senior outside hitter had an ace in this 6-0 run. Purdue Fort Wayne had a 5-2 final stretch that included a pair of blocks, the latter of which was a triple block on set point.

Walker took over on the final stretch, getting a kill and a solo block in the final three points of the match. Walker had a 4-0-7 effort in the third set.
Purdue Fort Wayne hit .301 as a team, led by Walker's .500 (6-0-12). Mount Olive's Gonzalez Pedro had an impressive 12-0-17 (.706) performance against the 'Dons.
