FORT WAYNE, Ind. – The Indiana Tech volleyball team defeated Lawrence Tech in five sets (25-16, 23-25, 25-17, 22-25, 15-10) on Wednesday evening at the Schaefer Center.
 
With the score tied at five in the decisive set, Tech was able to rattle off three straight points, including a kill and ace from Cassie Sarabia, to take an 8-5 lead heading into the change-over. The Blue Devils were able to take the next point, but the Warriors quickly made it a 10-8 set.
 
Three kills in a row from Katelyn St. Martin, Sarabia and Jazmin Alexander pushed the hosts lead to 13-8. Sarabia then clinched the match with the game-winning kill that was sent out of bounds by the LTU blockers.
 
Sarabia, St. Martin and Alexander all had double digit kills with 17, 14 and 10, respectively; while St. Martin added 16 digs and Sarabia recorded seven digs.
