WICHITA, Kan. -- Brooklyn Leggett produced a career-high 22 kills and Katie Galligan had 27 digs as Wichita State topped Tulsa for the second time in three days, 25-19, 23-25, 25-23, 25-21 on Sunday afternoon at Charles Koch Arena.

Wichita State has now beaten the Golden Hurricane 21 consecutive times in Wichita and 12 straight times overall. The win guarantees WSU a top eight finish and a spot in the AAC tournament, held in Wichita on November 22-24.

Leggett was virtually unstopped through the first two sets, pouring in seven kills in both frames to help the Shockers (14-10, 9-3) to a 2-0 lead. In the opening set, WSU led just 14-12 midway through after a 6-0 Tulsa run but fired back by scoring eight of the next 12 points to stretch their advantage to 22-16. Two more Leggett kills sandwiched around a Tulsa attack error helped salt away the first frame, 25-19.

Set two was tight throughout, as Wichita State faced an 18-17 deficit following a mini 4-1 Tulsa flurry. But a pair of Leggett kills helped right the ship and put WSU back in front, 20-18, a lead they managed to hold the rest of the way. Maddie Wilson delivered a crucial termination to help reach set point, and one sideout later Tulsa's Marta Pecalli served into the net for a 25-23 victory.

The Shockers appeared well on their way to closing out the match in straight sets when they grabbed a 17-11 edge in the third set, but another big run from the Golden Hurricane quickly erased the deficit. Tulsa (15-9, 7-5) scored seven of the next eight points to pull level at 18-apiece, then took the lead outright via a Beth Bayless kill that made it 21-20. The Shockers could never get back on level terms, cutting the margin back to one twice before Tulsa's Tatum Tornatta sent the match to a fourth set with a kill.

Wichita State managed to separate late after another tense fourth set. With the Shockers clinging to a 22-21 lead, Morgan Stout managed to push a ball perfectly to the back row for a kill, giving WSU a two-point edge. The Golden Hurricane followed with a pair of misfires, one from Tatum Tornatta and another from Arianna Mongare to get the Shockers over the finish line, 25-21.

Leggett's 22 kills came at an efficient .341 clip, helping the Shockers out-hit Tulsa, .183-.144. Morgan Stout fired 16 kills of her own at .375, and Emerson Wilford notched a double-double with 12 kills and 10 digs. The Shockers racked up more digs than Tulsa for the second straight match, 77-64. Reagan Anderson dropped in a career-high four aces to aid the Wichita State cause.

The Shockers are back in action on Friday night at Rice. First serve from Houston is scheduled for 6:00 pm.
