MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University volleyball team (6-9) was defeated by Kansas State on Wednesday, Sept. 27, in three sets with scores of 27-25, 25-19 and 25-20.

West Virginia combined for 40 kills, 39 digs, 36 assists and four blocks.
The Mountaineers started the match off strong in set one, commanding a 7-4 lead over the Wildcats. Kansas State turned it around off West Virginia errors, making the score, 16-15. West Virginia tied the score later in the set three times, before the Cats pulled away for the 27-25 win.
West Virginia started off the second set hot, again and took the early 4-2 lead over Kansas State. It was a battle for the lead, with the score never being more than two points apart before the Cats stormed off on a five-point scoring run at the halfway point. The Mountaineers retaliated back with a kill from Miller, and a pair by Green. Kansas State capitalized on West Virginia errors and a kill by senior outside hitter Aliyah Carter, cementing set two, 25-19.
Set three looked to be promising for West Virginia. The Mountaineers went on a 7-0 run, with big-time kills by right side freshman Emma Winter, freshman middle blocker Maddy McGath and Miller. The Cats clapped back with a 3-point run of their own, taking the 12-9 lead. West Virginia cut the lead down to only three points, before Kansas State grabbed the final set, 25-20.
