The Fresno State women’s volleyball team fell in its opening match of the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) season, losing in four sets to the Wolf Pack of Nevada (4-9,1-0).

The Bulldogs got a great effort from Baylee Platt, who had a season-high 21 kills in the match. The ’Dogs jumped out to an early lead, 4-1, in the first set and were up by as many as seven at 18-11, but Nevada rallied back to take the first set 25-23.

After a 25-21 win in the second game, the ’Dogs continued to play tough against Nevada jumping out to leads in the next two sets as well. However, in both cases they could not hold on to the leads, as they lost those two games 23-25 and 24-26.

The loss drops the Bulldogs to 7-6 and 0-1 in the WAC. They continue WAC play this week on the road traveling to Boise State on Oct.1 and Idaho on Oct.3.
