Wichita State setter Kayce Litzau can't remember ending a match with a service ace, although she can't rule it out over hundreds she played in club and high school.
She will remember Friday's ace that ended a five-set struggle with South Dakota. Her serve gave Wichita State a 15-13 victory at Koch Arena, squashing a rally by the Coyotes that started when they trailed 13-8.
Then the serving game switched dramatically to the Shockers (6-1). A service error by South Dakota's Madison Jurgens gave the Shockers a 14-13 lead and sent Litzau to the service line.
