On a career night for Monica Miesner and Kate Hampson, the Lady Blues fought back after losing games one and three to post a 3-2 win over No. 12 Pittsburg State (22-30, 30-18, 23-30, 30-25, 15-12) in front of 775 fans Friday night in Lee Arena. Seventh-ranked Washburn improved to 17-1 (2-0 MIAA) and won its 12th straight game while the Gorillas dropped to 15-2 and 2-1.

The Lady Blues will continue conference action when they host Missouri Southern Saturday at 6 p.m. in Lee Arena.
