UVU volleyball: Wolverines outlast NJIT in five sets to win its fourth consecutive five-set match

Norris would add another kill and Bailey Farris delivered a pair late to send the Wolverines to a 25-13 second set win.

Norris finished with a set-high six kills, and Hall handed out nine assists.

After both sides traded points early, NJIT built a lead late in the fourth set at 18-13. UVU matched the Highlanders point for point from there but was unable to come up with the big rally it needed, falling 25-21 as the match bled into the decisive fifth set.

With the win, the Wolverines have won 14 consecutive matches at home dating back to last season. Having won its last four matches, UVU owns a 3-0 conference mark, good for tops in the Great West Conference.

The Wolverines continue their five-match homestand next weekend when they host league-foe Chicago State on Friday night at 7 p.m. and future WAC opponent CSU Bakersfield at 6 p.m. Saturday. Saturday's match with the Roadrunners will be the final non-conference tilt for UVU this season.
