Jordyn Gates sets new NCAA Record in Laker Victory

DETROIT, MICH. – The GVSU women's volleyball team opened their weekend with a thrilling five set win over Wayne State. The victory moves GVSU to 12-1 overall, and 4-1 in GLIAC.
 
In the win, senior setter Jordyn Gates recorded the 33rd triple-double of her career, setting a new NCAA record. Gates had 13 her sophomore year, 15 more as a junior, then has five already this year to set the new all-time mark.
 
Wayne State took the first two sets, 21-25, 19-25, but GVSU responded with the next three sets 25-22, 25-22, 15-13. The Lakers never led in the opening set, as Wayne State scored four of the first five points to take an early lead. GVSU cut it to two at 14-16 but could never draw any closer. With GVSU leading 7-6 in the second set, Wayne State scored four straight points to go up 10-7, and once again would never let the Lakers back in it, taking a 2-0 set lead.
 
In the third set, GVSU got out to a 10-6 lead. After the Warriors cut it to 10-9, the Lakers went on a 5-1 run to push their lead up to 15-10. Wayne State would eventually come back to take a 19-18 lead. The Lakers would answer back and retake the lead and hold one to force a fourth set. The fourth set was another close affair, with both teams trading off points for most of the game. Once again, GVSU held a 19-18 lead late, and once again they were able to keep their comeback hopes alive, as Kate Goudreau slammed home a kill for the set victory.
 
In the fifth set, the Warriors took an 8-5 lead, as the two teams would switch sides of the court. That switch was followed by a 5-0 Laker run, capped off by two Kaitlyn Bingham aces, to take a 10-8 lead. Wayne State fought back to take a 12-11 lead, but GVSU would hold one, ending the game on a 4-1 run, as Paige Sanders and Meghan O'Sullivan combined for a block to end the match.
 
Gates wasn't the only Laker with a triple-double tonight, as Meghan O'Sullivan tallied the first of her career. O'Sullivan recorded 14 kills, 22 assists, and 12 digs, while swinging at a .429 clip. Gates' triple-double was 12 kills, 29 assists, and 10 digs. Brianna Stawski had 10 kills , with Paige Sanders adding nine, and Kate Goudreau having eight. Julia Blaney had a team-high 19 digs, while Kendall Stover and McKenzie Johnson both served four aces.
