The College of Wooster volleyball team stormed back in the fourth, warding off four straight set points to tie the frame at 24, then finally capped the wild finish 33-31 to beat visiting Wilmington College 19-25, 25-19, 25-15, 33-31 on Wednesday evening at Timken Gymnasium.

Senior Kora Burill's seventh kill of the night kicked off the wild come-from-behind effort, and junior Caitlin Walsh-Knouff put away two of her match-high 21 kills to tie the set at 24. Wooster earned its first set point, capping the 5-0 burst with sophomores Kennedy Muhlenkamp and Ava Hills knocking down Aubrey Clark's attack, but Wilmington went right back to Clark to tie the set at 25.

Muhlenkamp's ace made it 27-26, then consecutive kills from Wilmington's Magee Fain gave the Fightin' Quakers their sixth set point of the frame. Emelia Mohler was not up to the task of closing it out, sending a serve long. Wooster capitalized, as Hills and senior Jordan Laraway knocked down Fain's next attack before a kill from junior MC Werth gave the Scots another chance to close the match at 30-29.

Wooster's lead was 31-30 when Wilmington could not keep its attack in play, then 32-31 was the lead when Laraway added a 17th kill to Wednesday's stat sheet. Muhlenkamp's savviness ended it at 33-31, as she dumped the ball over on the second touch for kill four of the contest.

In all, the teams combined for 41 kills in the wild fourth set, with Laraway and Walsh-Knouff accounting for 13 of them. They had 38 of the Scots' 63 kills on the night, with the team total ranking as the fourth-most during the current scoring era for four setters.

Earlier, Wooster heated up in the second, hitting .271 as a team, and finishing 17 kills on 48 swings. Walsh-Knouff sparked the Scots with six kills in the frame and scoring points for Wooster on half of her swings in the set. Three of her kills came during an early 5-0 run that staked Wooster to a 7-3 lead. Later, Laraway added three kills during a dominating 9-1 Wooster run that pushed the lead to18-7.

Wooster kept clicking in the third, racing out to a 6-1 lead behind kills from four different Scots and a service ace from first-year Lillian Beasley. Wooster left no doubt, stringing together a late 5-0 run to take a commanding 22-11 lead in the third, which made it 2-1 Scots.

Walsh-Knouff's 21 kills were four off a career-high and marked the sophomore's third 20-kill effort of the season. Laraway's 17 kills were one off a season-high and pushed her career counter over 500.

Muhlenkamp passed out a career-high 52 assists, surpassing 1,000 for her career in the process. The 52 assists are tied for the third-most in a four-set match in the current scoring era. That led Wooster to 60 helpers on the night, the third-most as a team in a four-set match for the scoring era.

Elsewhere, junior libero Catherine Muzilla's 33 digs were two off a career-high, and she is now 30 shy of 1,000 for the career. Thirteen of Muzilla's digs came during the marathon 33-31 fourth set.

First-year Claire Buchholz chipped in 14 digs, while Muhlenkamp served up four of the Scots' 10 aces.

Wilmington was led by Fain's 12 kills. Logan McQuillin and Emma Specht had 15 digs each for the Quakers. Brinlee Preston's five blocks were the match high.

Wooster hit .230 on the night. Wilmington was held to a .126 attack percentage.

Wooster improved to 10-14 on the year. Wilmington is now 9-13. The match was Wooster's home finale.
