MOSCOW, Idaho — Sacramento State won two of the first three sets, and had a 22-21 lead in the fourth, but Idaho stormed back and eventually beat the Hornets, 3-2 (25-21, 21-25, 19-25, 25-22, 15-5), on Saturday afternoon at Memorial Gym.

The Hornets were three points away from victory after an Idaho attack error gave Sacramento State a 22-21 lead in the fourth set. However, the Vandals closed on a 4-0 run to force a fifth frame. Then, Idaho opened the fifth on a 6-0 spurt, extending their run to 10-0 over parts of both the fourth and fifth sets.

Sacramento State would get no closer than within four points of Idaho's fifth set lead, and the Vandals claimed victory.

The loss concluded a month-long 12-game road trip for the Hornets, and dropped the team to 6-9 overall and 1-1 in the Big Sky Conference. Idaho improved to 6-8 and 2-0 in league. The Vandals were the only team in the Big Sky to sweep the season series over the Hornets a year ago, and have now won three straight against Sacramento State.

The Vandals had seven less kills than the Hornets (63-56), but finished with 13.0 team blocks to the Hornets' 6.0. Idaho also won 10 straight huge points between the fourth and fifth sets.
