YPSILANTI, Mich. - Riley Rosneck led Purdue Fort Wayne women's volleyball to a 3-1 (25-19, 20-25, 25-21, 25-16) victory over Niagara on Friday (Sept. 5).
Rosneck was solid all-around, finishing with 20 kills on an efficient .340 hitting percentage. She added seven digs and an ace.
The 'Dons led 12-10 in set one going on a 10-0 run to take complete control of the frame. In the run, the 'Dons had five blocks. Despite a valiant 9-0 run from Niagara, Rosneck had back-to-back kills to win the set.
Purdue Fort Wayne was within two at 17-15, but Niagara had a 4-0 run to put the second set out of reach.
Trinity Rye had an ace to put the Mastodons up 14-8 in set three, and the Mastodons never trailed from there. Niagara got within two, multiple times, including 23-21, but a kill from Miona Dimitric and an ace from Lili Smith gave the 'Dons set three.
The Mastodons left no doubt in set four, jumping out to an 11-5 after a kill from Rye. The Purple Eagles never got within five after that point. Mya Plemons had the kill that gave the Mastodons their first win of the season.
Plemons had seven blocks and six kills. Avery Parris at nine kills and five blocks. Becky Barrett had 23 digs. Smith (25) and Haiden Means (18) split the setting duties, as the 'Dons had 53 assists on their 54 kills. Six different 'Dons had at least one ace.
Purdue Fort Wayne improved to 1-5. Niagara fell to 0-4.
The Mastodons will head to Springfield, Missouri to play Missouri State twice next week (Sept. 11-12).
