McLin Gymnasium Friday night, taking the match 23-25, 16-25, 25-21, 25-14, 19-17.

Wright State led 20-17 in the opening set, only to see the Vikings score seven of the next eight points, including two kills and two blocks from Beth Greulich. The Raiders drew to within one at 24-23 on a Becca Awaa kill and a CSU attack error, but Cleveland State won the set on another Greulich kill.

The Vikings again pulled away late in the second set as they scored 10 of the final 12 points to break away from a 15-14 lead, two as a result of Amy Benz kills.

Wright State, though, started its comeback in the third set as the Raiders took control with a 6-0 run to go up 13-5, two of those points coming on Lexi Leonhard closed out the set with a kill.

The Raiders then led just 11-10 in the fourth set before breaking it wide open with an 11-0 burst, a run that featured three Lizzy Gunn kills and a block along with two more Awaa kills. Gunn later added a service ace and a Jessica Woods kill forced the decisive fifth set.

Liz Fazio opened the fifth set scoring with a kill for Cleveland State, only to see Wright State follow with four straight points, the first two on kills from Leonhard and Awaa. The Raiders looked to be in command as they went up 11-5 on a block by Michelle Hammond and Sandifer but CSU would tally eight of the next 10 points to tie the score at 13.

Both teams then had two chances at match point, only to see the other pick up a point to stay alive, the final time being at 17 following a Cleveland State service error. Hammond then provided a block from the right side and another Viking attack error gave Wright State the victory.

CSU led in kills (59-54) and in blocks (16.5-9), but committed 22 attack errors over the final three sets compared to just 13 for the Raiders.
