K-State holds off West Virginia in five sets
Katie Brand and Brooke Sassin each recorded double-doubles and the Kansas State volleyball team fended off West Virginia’s comeback bid for a five-set victory (26-24, 25-19, 22-25, 22-25, 15-10) Wednesday night at the WVU Coliseum.
K-State picks up its 18th win of the season, eclipsing last season’s win total, and recorded a season-high 18 team blocks as the Wildcats swept the season series with the Mountaineers for the second straight year.
“This was hard-earned,” Brand said. “Give them credit. West Virginia never quit even when we were up two sets. We had to fight for every point. The rallies were long and both team wanted to win, we just wanted it a little more.”
