Mastodons Unable to Tame Gray Wolves, Falling 3-0
3/4/2016 8:47:00 PM | Men's Volleyball
FORT WAYNE, Ind. – The IPFW men's volleyball team was unable to overcome hitting errors as the Mastodons fell in straight sets to Lourdes (18-25, 2-25, 19-25). Andrew Sellan led the 'Dons with 14 kills, while nabbing seven digs. Tony Price managed seven kills and digs, each, while Gabriel Quinones earned 24 assists in the match.
The 'Dons opened the match in a bit of a rut as Lourdes jumped out to an early 10-5 start. IPFW would start to climb back in it with three-straight points, but the Gray Wolves continued to gain space between the two teams, earning a 17-9 lead. A 6-2 run from IPFW would help cut the deficit to 22-18, but Lourdes would eventually take the opening set 25-18. Price and Michael Keegan each earned three digs in the set, while Price and Alex Dickmann each earned four kills four the 'Dons.
IPFW opened the second set, giving up four-consecutive points, but the 'Dons fought back with a 7-2 run to take a 7-6 lead. Each team would continue to go back-and-fourth, being tied at 12, before Lourdes was able to gain some distance from the Mastodons. Trailing 23-20, the Blue and White began a comeback with a 3-1 run, but the Gray Wolves proved to be too much, taking the second set 25-23. Sellan earned four kills in the set while Dickmann and Luis Bertran each had three digs.
The Mastodons fell behind early in the third set and trailed 10-5 at the midway point before rallying off three-straight points to cut the Gray Wolves' lead. Lourdes would continue to attack, eventually opening up a 17-9 lead before the 'Dons battled back later on with a 5-1 run, cutting the deficit to 22-18. However, Lourdes would eventually prevail, taking the final set 25-18. Sellan earned nine kills and five digs in the set.
The Blue and White return to action when they host the University of Charleston on March 5 at 7 p.m. on Arnie Ball Court.
