Senior middle blocker Morgan Stout blocks the ball on Oct. 25 against Memphis. Stout finished with 10 blocks and 18 kills in the game.

After two sets, it appeared Wichita State volleyball would cruise to its second victory of the season against the University of Memphis.

Memphis ended up pushing the game to five sets, but after nearly three hours, the Shockers gutted out the win, 3-2 (25-19), (25-18), (24-26), (25-27), (15-12).

“We played cleaner than they did, and we won, period,” head volleyball coach Chris Lamb said.

Lamb said the phrase, “We won, period” five different times during the press conference, a theme of a game where Wichita State struggled to put the Tigers away.
