FORT WAYNE, Ind. - Purdue Fort Wayne women's volleyball picked up a Horizon League victory on Tuesday night (Oct. 1), beating IU Indianapolis 3-0 (25-23, 25-21, 25-15).
Iris Riegel put the Mastodons on her back early and often, as she accumulated eight of her match-high 14 kills in the opening set. The Jaguars led 17-13, but from there Purdue Fort Wayne charged back to tie it at 20 after a kill from Riegel. Becky Barrett had an ace in a 4-1 mini-run to move the pieces into position for set point. After an IU Indy kill, Jena Medearis and Riley Rosneck combined for a block to go up 1-0.
The second set had some back-and-forth runs, but there were only three ties and one lead change, which came at the 2-1 mark. After a 6-2 push very early on, the 'Dons never trailed. The Jaguars tied it up at 19 later on, but the composed Mastodons had a 4-0 response that was capped off by an ace from Barrett. Two IU Indy miscues later, the 'Dons were up 2-0.
The third was all Mastodons. The home team racked up 13 before the visitors reached five. The gap got as large as 12 with a 5-0 run to put the 'Dons up 21-9. IU Indy had a minor comeback, but did not overcome the lead Purdue Fort Wayne had built. Rosneck took over the bulk of the attacking duties in set five, as she had eight kills on 13 errorless swings.
Taya Haffner was dishing out from the setter spot, finishing with 30 assists while pacing the 'Dons to .290 hitting. Purdue Fort Wayne held IU Indy to a meager .117 hitting clip, including a .091 opening frame.
Riegel (14) and Rosneck (12) led the offense in kills. Mya Plemons had a team-high three blocks. LonDynn Betts and Barrett had nine digs each. Barrett had three of the team's four aces.
Purdue Fort Wayne improves to 9-7 and 2-1 in the Horizon League. The Jaguars fall to 6-10, 0-3. League play rolls on this weekend when the Mastodons visit Green Bay for two matches (Oct. 4-5).
