Fort Wayne MVB Falls in Four to No. 10 Loyola-Chicago
2/16/2017 10:37:00 PM | Men's Volleyball
CHICAGO - Despite a double-double from Alex Dickmann, the Fort Wayne men's volleyball team fell to No. 10 Loyola-Chicago 3-1 (25-23, 26-28, 25-20, 25-20) on Thursday night (Feb. 16) in Gentile Arena.
Fort Wayne held close in the first set, having a 23-22 lead before the Ramblers took the last three points. The 'Dons held several leads in the first, including a 12-9 lead that was gained by kills from Pelegrin Vargas and Colton Stone.
The second set of the match was back and forth in a similar fashion to the first, but the 'Dons won the last two points on kills from Stone and Graydon Schroeder. Fort Wayne hit .415 in the second and had 20 kills, three more than the Ramblers.
Fort Wayne led 11-5 in the third set, but a Loyola timeout halted momentum before a five-point Rambler run. Dickmann hit 5 for 8 in the third with no attacking errors, while also having four digs.
The Ramblers tried to secure the fourth set after jumping out to an 23-17 lead, but a late 3-0 run put the Mastodons within three. Dickmann again had five kills in the fourth set. Austin Neace came off the bench to contribute four kills in the set.
Vargas led the Mastodons in kills with 16, while Dickmann and Stone contributed 14 and 13 respectively. Kyle Fitzgerald had a season-high seven kills and Michael Keegan pitched in 47 assists, his best in a four-set match this season. Dickmann dug out 10 attack attempts to round out his first career double-double.
Fort Wayne falls to 4-12 (1-4 MIVA) while Loyola improves to 8-4 (4-1 MIVA). The Mastodons are back in action on Saturday (Feb. 18) at 8 p.m. EST as they visit the No. 7 Lewis Flyers in Romeoville, Illinois.
