Volleyball outlasts first-place Cincinnati in five-set victory

Wichita State volleyball knocked off first-place Cincinnati in five sets, for their fifth straight victory on Sunday afternoon. WSU’s victory over the Bearcats is their first since 2017.

The Shockers took the opening set, 25-23, but dropped sets two and three, similarly to Friday’s contest against East Carolina. The Shockers found themselves trailing by nine points in the third set, but cut the deficit to three points. The Bearcats hung on for a 25-21 victory but the late charge helped swing the momentum in the match.

“We were really fighting, getting closer,” head coach Chris Lamb said.
