WIU Drops Game One Of Crusader Classic

Leathernecks fall 3-0 to Wright State

VALPARAISO, Ind. – The Western Illinois volleyball team fell 3-0 to Wright State Friday (Sept. 14) in the first game of the Crusader Classic.
    
Western Illinois battled hard in the first set and tied the game at seven after falling behind by a pair. After finding themselves down by two, 13-11, the Leathernecks tied back up the game at 13. Wright State took the eight out of the last nine points to win the set, 25-17. Emma Norris recorded a team-high three kills in the opening game.
    
In the second set, the Purple and Gold found itself down 16-6, but won the next nine of the next 10 points to pull to within two, in part to back-to-back kills from Cassie Hunt. The comeback effort fell short, as WIU fell 25-20 in the second set.
   
During the final set of the match, Wright State jumped out to a 7-1 lead and the Leathernecks could never recover. The Purple and Gold took advantage of two attacking errors from Wright State to pull the game to within four, but the Raiders took the set, 25-18.
