Volleyball defeats Eastern Michigan in five sets

Central Michigan University Volleyball team huddles up before the game against the Toledo Rockets on Sept. 21 in the McGuirk Arena.

Central Michigan volleyball continued its perfect stretch in the fifth set this season after defeating Eastern Michigan 15-11 in the final frame Thursday night in Ypsilanti.

The Chippewas (10-7, 2-3 MAC) are 4-0 when they force the match to go the distance.

"I think it's a mentality," said head coach Mike Gawlik. "You get into the fifth set and you have to flush whatever happened in the first four sets."

Eastern Michigan defeated CMU in a close first set by a score of 26-24.
