What makes Wichita State volleyball so good in five-set matches?

On maybe another team, the players would have panicked when they fell behind 5-1 in the fifth set.

Not Wichita State.

The Shockers are comfortable with the intensity of a final set, and it showed on Friday night at Koch Arena in their home opener against Tulane in front of 4,270 fans. WSU rallied for a 25-18, 17-25, 25-17, 19-25, 15-12 victory, its third fifth-set win of the season.

Wichita State remains unbeaten in the American Athletic Conference. After a 20-0 title season last year, WSU opens 2018 with a 5-set win (25-18, 17-25, 25-17, 19-25, 15-12) over Tulane.
