South Dakota State and IPFW went to extra points in the first set of Friday night's volleyball match before the Mastodons won 30-28, and gave them all of the momentum they would need to sweep the Jackrabbits 3-0 in front of 459 fans at Frost Arena.

"It was great to come out and play a hard fought first set,but the little errors eventually cost us." said head coach Nanabah Allison-Brewer.

Following the extra long first set, IPFW cruised to a 25-19 win in the second set and a 25-16 win in the third set to secure the win and the season series sweep.

The Mastodons improve to 12-8 overall and 6-4 in the Summit League with the win, the Jacks fall to 6-12 overall and to an even 5-5 in league play.

Ellyce Youngren led the Jacks with 10 kills and a trio of block assists, Fiona Jones and Kaitlin Klingemann both finished the match with seven kills. Klingemann got her seven kills in 13 attempts with no errors for a .538 hitting percentage.

Mayara Schlindwein led IPFW with a match-high 15 kills and added 11 digs for the match's only double-double. Rebekah Roehm added 12 kills for the 'Dons in the win.

The Jackrabbits look to stay on the positive side of .500 in league play on Saturday, when they host Oakland at 4 p.m. in Frost Arena. The Golden Grizzlies fell at North Dakota State 3-0 on Friday.
