HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. - Riley Rosneck of the Purdue Fort Wayne women's volleyball team continued her stellar junior season on Friday evening (Oct. 16) with 15 kills, but the Mastodons fell to Northern Kentucky 25-19, 25-20, 25-19.
The league-leading Norse used a stout defensive effort to keep the Mastodons from playing spoiler to their perfect league record. The Norse had 10 blocks as a team along with 48 digs. The Mastodons did their part defensively as well, recording 51 digs and four blocks. Neither team hit over .220 for the match or .300 in any set.
Rosneck was the best offensive player on the floor with her 15 kills, recording five in the first set, six in the second and four in the third.
It was a 7-1 spurt in the first set that put NKU up. Prior to that, the 'Dons led 12-10 and forced NKU to burn a timeout. From there though, the two teams traded points and NKU went up early.
The second set looked similar as NKU strung together an 8-1 push run early on. The Mastodons shoved back with a 7-1 run of their own, capped off by a kill from Mya Plemons that urged NKU to call timeout. NKU settled back in with a 6-0 run that ultimately put the set out of reach.
In the third, the 'Dons had a 7-0 run with kills from Rosneck, Bella DiBuono and Miona Dimitric, but the home team answered with a 5-0 response. Another 4-0 run later put the Norse up four, and the 'Dons could not tie it up again from there, despite four kills from Trinity Rye after the 16-12 mark.
Rye finished with eight kills. Dimitric added seven and Plemons had four on seven swings. Becky Barrett dug out 19 attacks and Rosneck did the same for 10.
Purdue Fort Wayne fell to 11-9, 5-2 in Horizon League action, while NKU improved to 12-6, 7-0. These two teams will meet again on Saturday (Oct. 17) for a rematch at noon.
