BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - Senior setter Barbie Unfried (Bakersfield HS) recorded a season-high 55 assists to help the CSUB volleyball team come back from a two sets to one deficit and upend Central Valley rival Fresno State 25-23, 31-33, 19-25, 25-17, 15-9 at the Icardo Center in Bakersfield.

Sophomore middle blocker Alysia Baker (Vista/Tri-City Christian) was the main beneficiary of Unfried's prolific night, putting down a career-high 18 kills. Freshman outside hitter Morgan Pettway (Fort Worth, Texas/Fossil Ridge HS) added a collegiate-high 13 kills.

The first two sets told the tale of just how close this match would be. The Roadrunners led by five multiple times in the first set, but Fresno kept coming back until a Pettway kill at 24-23 finally gave CSUB the set. CSUB had six chances to put away the second set--and saved a pair of Fresno set points as well--before kills by Marissa Brand and Brianna Clarke allowed the Bulldogs to even the match at one set apiece.

Fresno used a 9-0 run to take control midway through the third set en route to the 25-19 win. But Baker and Pettway took control in the fourth set, combining for 13 of CSUB's 19 kills as the Roadrunners won going away to force the decisive fifth set.

The fifth set was close early, but Baker's final two kills of the night helped CSUB open a 10-6 lead, and the Roadrunners held the Bulldogs at arm's length down the stretch to complete the comeback.
