Box Score
Oberlin, Ohio – Oberlin College had 2-1 set lead, but the visiting College of Wooster Fighting Scots battled back to take the match in five sets (25-22, 22-25, 25-22, 20-25, 6-15) on Friday night at Philips Gym.
“We played some of our best volleyball of the season, but our lack of consistency continues to hurt us,” Head Coach Carey Cavanaugh said. “Until we say enough is enough, these types of results are going to continue to happen.”
In the decisive fifth set, the Scots scored six straight points out of the gates and never looked back to leave town with the win.
