Volleyball ends Shocker Classic with ‘dog fight’ win against Omaha

Junior outside hitter Emerson Wilford attempts a kill on Saturday afternoon against Omaha. The Shockers won a tight matchup, 3-2, as Wilford had 11 kills.

Wichita State volleyball was on the brink of losing its home Shocker Volleyball Classic tournament, but came back in thrilling fashion with big rallies in the third and fifth sets.

The Shockers would need every point to pull off a five-set (19-25), (25-21), (31-29), (17-25), (15-13) win in its Saturday matinee against the University of Nebraska Omaha.

“I knew it would be a dog fight … It was a huge win for us,” head volleyball coach Chris Lamb said.
