RH: "Defense Has Been On Our Side"

Wichita State produced an excellent defensive night against an overmatched opponent and the Shockers considered the effort routine.

Wichita State entered the match holding opponents to a .151 attack percentage, No. 21 nationally.

"Defense has been on our side, one of the reasons why we're winning," coach Chris Lamb said. "Serving tonight was great. We kept these guys out of system a lot. The Shockers still need to tighten it up in serve-receive. It's a little disconcerting there with the balls we watched land and didn't control."

A balanced attack with Foster recording nine kills and Rohling eight also looked good to Lamb. Setter Izzi Strand set the middles at a good rate and opened plenty of lanes for attackers. The Shockers finished with a .297 attack percentage, with a mere 11 errors, after hitting .119 on Wednesday.

The Shockers will need to take that well-round performance on the road this coming weekend for an early conference showdown. They play at SMU (8-5, 2-0) on Friday and Sunday. The Mustangs own wins over Florida State, then-No. 14 Baylor and Texas Tech.
