Mastodon WVB's Winning Ways Continue With Five-Set Triumph at RMU
10/2/2026 8:41:00 PM | Women's Volleyball
MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa. - Behind 25 kills from Riley Rosneck, the Purdue Fort Wayne women's volleyball picked up a five-set win on Friday night (Oct. 2) at Robert Morris.
With the win, Purdue Fort Wayne started 3-0 in league play for the first time since 2016.
The Mastodons picked up the 23-25, 25-15, 19-25, 25-20, 15-10 win over the Colonials by out-hitting the Colonials in every set. The 'Dons finished with a .285 hitting percentage, while RMU hit just .132. This included a .360-.200 edge in the fifth set.
Rosneck led the Mastodons offensively all night, but she was at her best in set four. She had nine of her match-high 25 kills in that frame, but RMU managed to overcome her prolific offensive output in that set. Rosneck finished the match with a .316 hitting percentage on 57 swings.
Throughout, the match was hotly contested, featuring 29 ties and 13 lead changes. Despite that, the 'Dons never trailed when it mattered most, the decisive fifth set. Tied 2-2 in the fifth, the Mastodons mounted a 7-1 run that featured four kills from Trinity Rye and one from Bella DiBuono. From there, RMU made a push, but only out-scored the 'Dons 6-5 the rest of the way. The Mastodons earned the win with 11 of the 15 fifth-set points coming from Mastodon kills and one from a block.
While Rosneck pulled much of the spotlight, Rye recorded with 13 kills on a .414 hitting percentage. Becky Barrett was a stalwart defensively for the 'Dons, digging out 23 Colonial attacks. Rosneck and Haiden Means added 12 digs each. At the net, DiBuono (6), Mya Plemons (4), Rosneck (3) and Rye (3) controlled RMU with 10 total blocks.
Purdue Fort Wayne improved to 9-7, 3-0 in the Horizon League. Robert Morris fell to 3-12, 1-3.
The Mastodons and Colonials will meet again on Saturday afternoon (Oct. 3) with a 4 p.m. start.
