JONESBORO, Ark. (9/14/18) – The Arkansas State volleyball team was pushed to five sets by Southern Illinois, but prevailed in a 3-2 (25-17, 25-27, 25-22, 22-25, 15-4) victory Friday night at the A-State Invitational being held inside First National Bank Arena.
A-State (7-5) pushed its season-best win streak to five matches as the Red Wolves and Salukis (4-8) went the distance. Arkansas State raced out to a 7-0 lead after a kill by Isabel Theut and never looked back. SIU worked back to within 12-4, but A-State scored three straight points on a Carlisa May kill, Madison Turner block, and Macey Putt kill to claim the set 15-4.
