Idaho State committed just seven hitting errors, en route to a 25-17, 22-25, 25-16, 25-16 win over Montana State, Saturday afternoon in Shroyer Gym.
Idaho State (8-11, 3-3) out-hit the Bobcats .427 to .199 and had three players in double-figure kills. Montana State (4-11, 2-4) recorded 27 hitting miscues as the Bengals snapped MSU's two-match winning streak.
"We're going to experience some setbacks," said MSU head coach JJ Riley. "We're coming off two great matches. We need to learn that when you play a team like Idaho State that's used to winning, it's going to take a great team effort. You have to stay tough and keep your composure."
MSU held a 9-6 advantage in the opening set before giving up a pair of 5-0 runs to Idaho State. The Bengals took a 1-0 lead following a MSU hitting error. The second stanza featured nine ties before the Bobcats separated themselves from ISU at 19-all with three straight points and won the set on a Caitlin Lonergan kill.
Idaho State captured the final two sets out-hitting Montana State .424 to .134.
The Bobcats were paced by Lonergan and Natalie Passeck with 16 kills, apiece. Senior Eli Svisco added seven kills, a .312 attack mark and two digs. Defensively, MSU was led by freshman libero Allyssa Rizzo, who recorded a match-high 17 digs.
ISU was led by Marissa Todd with 17 kills and five digs.
MSU will play at North Dakota next Thursday in Grand Forks.
