MOORHEAD, Minn. -- The Minnesota State University Moorhead volleyball team outlast Bemidji State University in five sets on Friday, winning 25-18, 28-26, 18-25, 22-25, 15-12.
 
Junior middle blocker Kaylyn Jenkins was a steady force both offensively and defensively as she put away 20 kills and contributed six blocks. Freshman outside hitter Amanda Carlson had 15 kills and 18 digs. Redshirt freshman Becca Koehn had 32 assists and 17 digs, while sophomore Lauren Kiewiet had 25 assists and 11 digs.

In the first set Bemidji State tied the set 14-14 before the Dragons went on a three-point run to force a BSU timeout. Out of the timeout, the Dragons went on another run featuring kills from three Dragons and a service ace from Vega. A kill from Carlson closed out the set 25-18.
 
In set two, an ace from Koehn gave the Dragons a 10-9 advantage. The Beavers would tie the score, but a block from Carlson and Jenkins gave MSUM a 12-10 lead. It would seem that the Beavers were running away with the set as they went up 23-17, but the Dragons scored seven-straight points to take a 24-23 lead. A block from sophomore Kylie Kanwischer and Kiewiet closed out the second set 28-26.
 
Bemidji went up 8-4 early off kills from five different players. MSUM managed to take back the lead at 12-11 off a Kiewiet kill. BSU managed to separate themselves and took a 25-18 third set. The fourth set featured an 8-8 tie early off a block from Jenkins and freshman outside hitter Madison Wassink. A solo block from Kanwischer allowed the Dragons to retake the lead at 16-15. A late push from the Beavers gave them a 25-22 victory.
 
In the fifth and deciding set, the Dragons were up 5-1. The early lead featured three Dragon blocks. MSUM continued to push down the stretch and saw a 9-5 lead off a Kiewiet kill. BSU would pull within one at 13-12, but after an MSUM timeout the Dragons solidified the victory with a 15-12 fifth set.
 
MSUM wraps up the regular-season on the road tomorrow at 2 p.m. against Minnesota Crookston.
