Three consecutive points, including kills from Mariah Nussbaum and Ashley Langjahr, put the Raiders up 3-1 in the final set and WSU led 11-10 following another Langjahr kill, but Central Michigan responded with a 4-1 burst to regain the advantage.  Wright State closed the margin to two on five different occasions down the stretch, but could get no closer.
