A block by Alexa Withun (Troy, Mich. / Athens) and Kayla Giroux (Flat Rock, Mich.) gave the Warriors a 5-1 lead early in the third set.  Points by Morrison and Giroux made it 7-5.  With Kamryn Duffield (Romeo, Mich.) at the service line Wayne State used a kill by Withun, an ace plus a block to extend the margin to 12-8.  MTU won the next six points.  Wayne State tied the set at 14-14 following kills from Lauren VanderWal (Caledonia, Mich.) and Shell.  The home team answered with an 8-0 run to go up 22-14 and the Huskies would win 25-19.
