NORMAN, Okla. Kansas State head coach Suzie Fritz garnered her 100^th career win on Wednesday night following a 3-0 win over Oklahoma. The 22^nd ranked Wildcats dropped the Sooners 30-22, 30-28 and 30-26.

Fritz is the fastest in K-State history to earn her 100^th career victory, taking just 134 matches to accomplish the feat.  She is also just the third coach in Wildcat history to surpass the 100 win mark and the second in the modern era.

“For us as a program it has never been about winning,” said Fritz about the accomplishment. “I have been fortunate to have been surrounded by talented coaches and players. I am very proud of the tradition we are establishing here at K-State.”

Leading the Wildcats on the floor was junior Sandy Werner and sophomore Rita Lilliom. The duo each tallied 10 kills, with junior Joy Hamlin trailing with nine on 14 total attempts and a .571 hitting percentage. Sophomore setter Stacey Spiegelberg dished out 39 assists and is just one away from 500 for her career.

In game one, K-State captured its first lead of the night at 5-4 on an Oklahoma attacking error. The Sooners followed with two additional attacking errors to stake the Wildcats to a 7-4 edge. K-State was able to push the advantage to six at 12-6 on another Oklahoma attacking error. Oklahoma closed the gap to 12-9, but was halted by a Rezende kill.

K-State was able to push to its largest advantage at 26-18 on a tandem block by Hamlin and Werner. K-State won the opener on a Sooner attacking error. In the opening frame, the Wildcats registered 17 kills and a .452 hitting percentage. The K-State defense forced the Sooners into nine attacking errors and a .034 hitting percentage. Leading the Wildcats was Hamlin with five kills on six attempts and a .833 hitting percentage. Spiegelberg dished out 16 assists in the frame.

After trailing 3-0 to open game two, K-State battled back to take a 10-6 advantage and force an Oklahoma timeout. Pushing the Wildcats to the four-point edge was a Hamlin kill and a Jamie Perkins service ace.

K-State was able to build the margin to 19-12 on a Werner kill. The Sooners refused to succumb to K-State’s attack and battled back to trail 29-28, after fending off four game point attempts by the Wildcats. A Hamlin kill ended the Sooner comeback. K-State hit .135 in the second stanza, while holding Oklahoma to .056.

Game three was a back and forth affair with nine ties and seven lead changes. K-State solidified the game after using its second timeout following an Oklahoma kill. A service error by the Sooners, a solo block by Werner and a tandem by Hamlin and Spiegelberg pushed K-State to a 26-24 edge and forced Oklahoma into a timeout.

Kansas State will return to Ahearn Field House for a two-match homestand. K-State will take on Texas Tech Saturday night at 7 p.m.
