The Roos staved off defeat with a couple of points but a ball falling out of bounds at the hands of the Roos ended the second game, 19-25.
"We did a lot of good things in game two," Frugoli said. "We were very competitive and had the lead, and they had to call timeouts, any time you can do that against a top 25 team you know you are building something special we're just not consistent enough yet and we'll just have to work on getting better and better."
In the third game the Shockers got off to a quick lead and never stopped running.
Wichita earned run after run reaching a 15-6 lead then a 22-7 lead. The Roos climbed only two more points before the game ended, 9-25.
"It was a lot more than I expected. It was really loud and a lot of fun. I really liked playing defense against their outside hitters," said freshman libero Nicole Kerkman. "The second game I thought we played very well and we should have kept that level going into the third game but that didn't happen."
Frugoli saw a spark in his team during the game.
He said, "We showed flashes of being as good and they are and we are going to keep building on that until we are that good."
