FORT WAYNE, Ind. – The Cleveland State volleyball team picked up its first win in Horizon League play Friday, earning a five-set victory at Purdue Fort Wayne.

Vayda Delventhal led the Viking defense with 16 digs, while Reilly Wadden added 12.

As a team, the Vikings combined for 15.0 total blocks, including 11 from JeriLynn Koehler.

During the opening frame, the two teams played a back-and-forth set until the end of the frame when Cleveland State gained set-point at 24-23 on a Purdue Fort Wayne error. Although the Mastodons were able to even the set on the ensuing point, the Vikings rattled off back-to-back points to close out the 26-24 first set victory on a JeriLynn Koehler solo block.

After dropping the next two sets, the Vikings were able to rebound during the fourth frame to pick up a 25-13 victory. After gaining a sizeable advantage midway through the set at 16-9 following a Bryn VanVleet kill, the Vikings were able to hold their advantage for the rest of the frame. Cleveland State closed the set with four straight points, including a Julia Jozefov kill to earn the 25-13 victory.

The Vikings carried this momentum into the fifth set then, as they jumped out to a 5-2 lead on a Koehler and Matilda Dahlstrom block to force a Purdue Fort Wayne timeout. Cleveland State extended its lead to 8-3, before back-to-back points on a Dahlstrom kill and VanVleet block put the Vikings up 10-4 late in the frame.

Cleveland State then closed out the set with four of the last five points, closing out the 15-7 fifth set victory on a Laken Voss kill.

The Vikings will close out their two-match roadswing at Purdue Fort Wayne tomorrow, with first serve set for 3:00 p.m.
