OGDEN - Weber State volleyball finished up the Wildcat Invitational Saturday afternoon with a three set victory over CSUN.

How it happened:
Both teams started the match off strong staying within one point of each other and eventually tied up at 15-15. WSU took an 18-15 lead but it didn't last long as CSUN brought it within one point with a 22-21 score. Sam Schiess had a great swing for a kill and a big block by Kennedy Williams put WSU at set point. A Matador error gave the Wildcats the first set with a 25-21 score.

In the third set, Weber State jumped out to a 6-1 lead. Then pushed that to an 18-10 lead. The Wildcats never let up and pulled away with a 25-18 third set win.
Offensively: Weber State was led by Williams who had 13 kills 24 attacks with only one error for a .500 hitting percentage.
