FORT WAYNE, Ind. - The Purdue Fort Wayne women's volleyball team dropped a five-setter 3-2 (26-24, 23-25, 15-25, 25-13, 15-7) to Cleveland State on Friday night (Oct. 17).
Becky Barrett was excellent defensively, racking up a career-high 31 digs, a third of the team's total of 93. The team's 93 are the most in a Horizon League match this season and Barrett's 31 matched a league-high.
Riley Rosneck was the best offensive player on the floor, finishing with a match-high 24 kills on a .242 hitting percentage. She added 13 digs for a double-double. Haiden Means also had a double-double of 47 assists and 18 digs.
The fifth set went to the visitors after CSU went up 8-3, swapping sides up comfortably. The Vikings had four blocks by that point in the fifth frame. They finished the match with 15 blocks, the second-most by an HL team this season. JeriLynn Koehler had 11 of those herself.
The Mastodon offense clicked for two sets, as the 'Dons hit .313 in the second and a scorching .500 in the third. In those two sets alone, Trinity Rye had nine kills on 13 attempts for a .615 clip.
In total, there were just 20 ties scores and five lead changes in the match. Fourteen of those ties came in the first set.
With the loss, Purdue Fort Wayne fell to 3-16, 1-7 Horizon League. Cleveland State improved to the same record. The two teams will clash again on Saturday (Oct. 18) at 3 p.m.
