The Kent State volleyball team walked off the small, noisy, dark volleyball court in Northern Illinois Saturday night after 29 set ties, 10 lead changes, 27 kills and 37 digs, all in the first match.
“It was pretty intense and a pretty cool moment to be apart of,” coach Don Gromala said. “To be in that moment and for us to keep battling back and forth for that long is pretty cool. We were really happy even though the outcome wasn’t what we were hoping for.”
Kent State ended the long match by losing 43-41. Gromala said the teams were both giving away points within their serves.
