DAYTON – The Wright State volleyball team came from behind for a five-set win on Saturday over Cleveland State to remain undefeated in Horizon League play as Jenna Story moved into the top five all-time in NCAA history.
Story, a fifth-year senior, finished with 29 digs to jump into the top five in NCAA Division I history in career digs with her 2,786 digs and counting. Story actually jumped over a pair of players in the record book Saturday and ends the night fourth all-time and just four digs shy of third place all-time in NCAA history.
Wright State (13-3, 11-0 Horizon) pushed its winning streak to 14 matches, winning the second set and then the fourth and fifth sets to complete the comeback. Cleveland State (8-15, 5-7 Horizon) won tight sets in the first (25-21) and third (25-23) but fell 25-13 (second), 25-18 (fourth) and 16-14 (fifth) as the Raiders completed the comeback.
Callie Martin and Sam Ott each finished with double doubles, as Martin collected a match-high 18 kills to go along with 22 digs, adding two blocks and two service aces, and Ott recording 12 kills with 14 digs. Megan Alders (11) and Taylor Bransfield (10) also finished with double figure kills in the win. Story's 29 assists were a match high, while Lainey Stephenson added a double-double of her own with 18 kills and 47 assists.
SET ONE
Wright State jumped ahead early in the set only to see Cleveland State respond with a 10-2 run to take a 15-11 advantage. A 3-1 run by the Raiders pulled them within two at 16-14 but the visitors never let Wright State have a chance to tie the set, eventually wrapping up the set at 25-21.
SET TWO
The Raiders got in a rhythm early in the set, using a 12-2 run to take control behind kills from Alders, Martin, Ott and Stephenson and a pair of service aces from Jenny Morey. Wright State wrapped up the set with six of the last nine points, including the final three straight, thanks to a trio of kills from Bransfield and a service ace from Stephenson.
SET THREE
Wright State got off to an early lead, doubling up Cleveland State 6-3 before the visitors evened the set at 9-all. Back-and-forth from there, the Raiders let 18-15 before Cleveland State tallied an 8-1 run to push to a 23-19 mark. Three straight Raider points thanks to a pair of errors and an Ott kill pulled Wright State within one before Cleveland State scored two of the final three points to squeak out the set.
SET FOUR
Wright State scored eight of the first nine points thanks to kills from Alders, Stephenson and five Cleveland State errors, but the visitors tallied the next five points to pull back into the set. Each side volleyed points back and forth the rest of the set before a four-point run by the Raiders, behind kills from Martin and Aaliyah Byers, pushed the set to the edge and a final Byers kill forced the deciding set.
SET FIVE
Cleveland State jumped ahead early with four of the first five points before leading 7-3 and later 9-5. Wright State tallied three of the next four points behind kills from Martin and Ott to pull to 10-8 but couldn't get any closer as the sides traded points to a Cleveland State match point at 14-11. A Cleveland State service error into the net gave the Raiders life and Morey took over from there, tallying back-to-back service aces before Wright State took the 15-14 lead on a Cleveland State attacking error. Moments later freshman Seiler Hruska ended the night with her lone kill (and lone attack) to give the Raiders the comeback win.
