In set one, Berger was 6-for-7 in hitting, with Baylee Platt and Kelly Leonardo going 3-for-3. The team hit .355 in the set.

After dropping set two, Fresno State took a commanding 24-11 lead in the third set, with Tairyn Rasmussen picking up a service ace.

Set four was a little closer with the Lady Techsters cutting the Fresno State lead to 5-13, but the Bulldogs would rally to take the set 25-21 to clinch the match.

Platt had a double-double with 14 kills and 12 digs to lead the team. Setter Allanah Munson also had a double-double with 45 assists and 13 digs.

The Bulldogs’ three-game road trip concludes this Thursday at Utah State and their conference home opener is Saturday night against San Jose State.
