Alabama volleyball outlasted Wake Forest 3-2 in a five-set battle on Wednesday evening in Foster Auditorium. The Crimson Tide boosts its record to 5-1 on the young season.

Alabama won the first two sets, 25-20 and 25-18, respectively, but Wake Forest came back quickly with 25-23 and 28-26 decisions in the third and fourth.

The deciding frame went down to the wire. Tied at 12-12, a kill from junior Maddie Snider gave the Tide the lead and back-to-back kills from senior Sophie Agee and Snider closed out the set and match with a 15-12 score.

It's important to mention that graduate student Victoria Barrett led the team with a season-high 25 kills, one of which gave her the tremendous accolade of 1,500 career kills.

“I just keep seeing the culture of our team start to shine in all of these matches," Alabama head coach Rashinda Reed said in a press release. "I feel like even when we were down, we just kept battling. This just shows how relentless we are and these players are starting to identify that within themselves. To see that in such pressure situations is incredibly special. This team grows every single week and the future remains bright based on this fight within us.”
