10/9/2026 9:34:00 PM | Women's Volleyball
FORT WAYNE, Ind. - Despite 20+ kills from Trinity Rye and Riley Rosneck, the Purdue Fort Wayne women's volleyball team dropped its first Horizon League match of the season on Friday night (Oct. 9) with a 3-1 (25-22, 21-25, 25-22, 25-17) loss to Youngstown State.
It was the Mastodons' annual Pink Out contest, which saw the 'Dons wear pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Rye and Rosneck were the highlight of the show for either side. Rye (25) and Rosneck (20) were the only two players from either team to reach 20 kills. It was the first time with two 'Dons recording 20+ kills since 2015.
Youngstown State's offense was effective enough, edging the Mastodons in each of the sets the Penguins won. They hit .333 in set one, .243 in set two and .375 in set three. The Mastodons did hold the visitors to .161 in the second set while hitting .256 themselves, good enough to win the frame. Rosneck and Rye combined for 11 of the Mastodons' 16 kills in the second set.
The Penguins finished with a .270 hitting percentage, but Becky Barrett still managed 25 digs, matching a season-high. Haiden Means also dished out a career-high 50 assists on the Mastodons' 61 kills. The 'Dons had a 61-47 advantage in the kill category.
The Mastodons were at their best in the early moments of the match when they went up 7-1. From there though, YSU managed to tie up the contest at 11, and went on to win it 25-22.
With their first loss in league play, Purdue Fort Wayne fell to 10-8, 4-1 Horizon League. Youngstown State improved to 7-9, 3-2. The Mastodons and Penguins will square off again on Saturday (Oct. 10) at 2 p.m. Rosneck enters tomorrow's contest needing just seven kills for 1,000 in her career.
