Wednesday, October 08, 2008
FAIRBORN — Wright State recorded nine blocks and committed just 12 attack errors, but it wasn't enough as Valparaiso defeated the Raiders 25-21, 25-17, 25-22 in Horizon League action Tuesday night, Oct. 7, at the C.J. McLin Gymnasium.
The first set featured 10 ties and five lead changes until Valparaiso went ahead for good at 20-15 on six straight points. The Raiders closed to within one at 21-20 thanks in part to a Lili Williams service ace and a Shaunda Sandifer kill, only to see the Crusaders follow with three consecutive points.
Valparaiso took control early in the second set with six unanswered points to break a 3-3 deadlock and then won the third set with a 6-0 run to overcome a 19-17 WSU lead.
Lexi Leonhard led the way for Wright State with 12 kills while Becca Awaa had nine and Michelle Hammond posted a double-double of 30 assists and 10 digs.
Wright State (6-12, 4-3 Horizon) is back in action Wednesday hosting Butler in another league match starting at 7 p.m.
