One night after earning its first win over the Racers since 2011 and first W in Murray, Ky. since 2007, the purple and gold collected its first back-to-back victories against its rival since 2008 and 2009 and the first back-to-back road victories against Murray State since 1997 and 1998.

The Golden Eagles had to pull out all the stops to collect the 3-2 (25-20, 24-26, 22-25, 25-23, 15-11) win, posting season-highs of 89.0 points, 63 kills, 60 assists and 30 block assists. The visitors' 76 digs finished just one shy of their season-best showing while their 16 total blocks was just two off their top showing of the year.

Tech claimed the opening set before watching the Racers pull ahead, 2-1 with a victory in their sites. Instead, the Golden Eagles clawed back with a comeback in the fourth set.

Set four was a roller coaster, with the purple and gold soaring out to a 5-1 lead. Murray State answered back, taking as much as a 15-11 advantage later in the game. Tech swung back control to its side at 18-16, but the two sides would deadlock the next five points, settling at 23-23.

Tech head coach Jeannette Waldo called for a timeout, giving her team a chance to regroup and force a decisive fifth set. The Golden Eagles delivered taking back the serve with a huge kill from sophomore Skylar Boom. Up 24-23, the ball turned over to another sophomore, Emma Osterbur. She produced with a service ace to tie the contest at 2-2.

It was all Tech in set five, as the Golden Eagles never trailed on their way to a 15-11 victory. Fittingly, it was a combination of juniors Taylor Dorsey and Ashley Hand that produced the final point of the evening, combining for one of Tech's 16 blocks on the night.
