DAYTON – It was a night of déjà vu for the Wright State volleyball program on Saturday night inside the Nutter Center as the Raiders took down Ohio State in five sets as part of the Tru by Hilton Beavercreek Invitational.
 
For Wright State (4-3), the win came with a second-straight new program attendance record as 1,858 fans were in the Nutter Center, surpassing Friday's attendance of 1,239 fans that took in the match against No. 7 Pitt.
