The Wright State volleyball team led two games to one and later had a 7-4 advantage in the decisive fifth game, but it wasn't to be as Binghamton rallied for a 24-30, 30-28, 21-30, 30-21, 15-12 win Saturday evening at the Clarion Westgate Hotel Rocket Classic in Toledo.

WSU pulled away from a 24-22 margin in game one thanks in part to a pair of kills from Jenny Schultz, but the Bearcats evened the match by winning the second game, with their final three points coming on Megan Hoag kills.

The Raiders hit .387 (15/3/31) in taking game three, only to see Binghamton hit .444 (18/2/36) a game later as each won by the same margin.

Two more Schultz kills keyed a 4-1 run to give Wright State a 7-4 edge in game five, but Binghamton eventually went up 9-8 and later led 12-10 before kills from Sarah Poling and Alisha Kimbro tied it up.

Binghamton, however, would take the match by scoring the final three points, two on kills by Hoag and Jacki Kane.

For the match, WSU had more kills (75-69), but the Bearcats finished with a higher hitting percentage (.233-.214), thanks to a .404 percentage the final two games.

Poling posted her first double-double of the season as she paced the Raiders with 25 kills and as many digs. Schultz also had a double-double of 19 kills and 16 digs along with three service aces, while Kimbro had a near double-double of nine kills and 10 digs.

Tara Geegan added 10 kills for Wright State, Lindsey Frank 65 assists and 16 digs along with three aces and Lexi Leonhard chipped in 12 digs. Frank was named to the All-Tournament Team as she hit .359 with 19 kills, 141 assists and 36 digs in the four matches.

Binghamton (1-3) was led by Hoag's 16 kills while Kane had 15.

Wright State, now 1-3 on the year, returns to action next weekend at the Jefferson Cup Tournament in Charlottesville, Virginia. The Raiders will face East Carolina in the opening match of the tournament on Friday, September 1, at 5:00.
