9/26/2023 8:01:00 PM | Women's Volleyball
CLEVELAND - The Purdue Fort Wayne women's volleyball team dropped a 3-1 (25-18, 25-21, 15-25, 25-21) Horizon League match at Cleveland State on Tuesday (Sept. 26).
A pair of freshmen led the Mastodons offensively, with Panna Ratkai and Ashby Willis had 15 and 13 kills, respectively.
The Mastodons jumped out to a 7-3 lead in the opening set after an ace from LonDynn Betts and a block from Jena Medearis, but the Vikings tied it up four points later. After the 'Dons led 14-13, CSU used a 9-1 run to get within range of a set point.
The 'Dons had a similar start to set two (8-5) after kills from Iris Riegel and Ratkai, but the Vikings went on an 8-1 run to go up four. They never trailed again.
Purdue Fort Wayne dominated in set three, hitting a very efficient .433 with just two errors. The set included a 5-0 Mastodon run with an ace from Taya Haffner. The 'Dons ended on a 4-0 push, with kills from Ratkai and Haffner and an ace from Ratkai. The freshman had six of her 15 kills in the third.
The two teams were tangled in the fourth until a 3-0 run from the home team to force a timeout at 14-10. From there, the Vikings held the lead for the duration.
Cleveland State's Liberty Torres had a match-high 16 kills. Betts had a match-high 21 digs.
Purdue Fort Wayne falls to 5-11, 0-4 Horizon League. CSU improves to 9-6, 3-1. The Mastodons return home on Saturday (Sept. 30) with a match against rival IUPUI at 7 p.m.
