FORT WAYNE, Ind. - Green Bay won a 3-0 (29-27, 25-14, 25-23) volleyball match against the Purdue Fort Wayne women's volleyball team on Friday night (Oct. 3) in the Gates Sports Center.
The opening set was as tightly contested as could be, with both teams having at least one set point opportunity. The Mastodons put together a 5-0 run midway through the set, which featured a Meg Berkland Ace and two blocks from Haiden Means. Green Bay pushed back with a 5-1 stretch, then the two traded individual points and mini-runs the rest of the way. Green Bay ultimately scored three of the last four to take the set. Trinity Rye and Mya Plemons both had five of their eight kills in the opening frame.
After a 9-8 Green Bay lead, the second set was all Phoenix. They had 4-0, 3-0, 2-0 and 6-0 runs after that point. The last set was as competitive as the first with 11 ties and four lead changes, but a late timeout for Green Bay led to a 6-2 finish for the Phoenix to end the match early.
Plemons was a bright spot offensively for the Mastodons, finishing with eight kills on 16 swings for a .438 percentage. Riley Rosneck finished with 11 kills and seven digs while owning a solid .308 hitting percentage. Becky Barrett had 15 digs for the 'Dons.
Green Bay was great on the offensive side, hitting .362 as a team. Reigning Horizon League Player of the Week Diane Pichelman had 18 kills on a .607 percentage. Setter Emma Johnson had a good night as well, dishing out 46 of the team's 49 assists.
Purdue Fort Wayne fell to 2-13, 0-4 Horizon League while Green Bay improved to 4-11, 3-1. The two teams will meet again on Saturday (Oct. 4) at 2 p.m.
