FORT WAYNE, Ind. - The Fort Wayne men's volleyball team played its final match of the season in a 3-0 (25-13, 26-24, 25-16) loss to No. 7 Lewis on Saturday night (April 8) on Arnie Ball Court. This was seniors Scott McNerney, Nick Smalter and Gabriel Quinones final match in Mastodon uniforms.
The seniors were honored before the starting lineups to appreciate their contributions to the Fort Wayne program over their careers.
Lewis came out on fire in the first set, going on a 6-0 run early to take a 9-4 lead. The Mastodons trailed by 10 midway through the set, and the Flyers had their biggest lead of the night by taking the final two points of the set.
The Mastodons had a back-and-forth second set early on, and went on a three-point run to lead 10-9. Smalter's kill pushed the 'Dons to lead Lewis. Another three-point run from the 'Dons put Fort Wayne up 18-15. Fort Wayne led by two, but could not get any further away, and neither could Lewis. The Flyers took their largest lead when they went on a three-point run to take the set. The 'Dons hit .304 in the second set.
The Flyers took a 7-3 lead in the third set and the 'Dons were unable to overcome the deficit.
Smalter led the 'Dons in kills with 11, while Quinones and Colton Stone led with four digs. Quinones, Smalter and Graydon Schroeder each had two blocks. Austin Neace came off the bench to have two service aces. Richie Diedrich and Alex Dickmann pitched in four kills.
The Flyers improve to 22-6, 13-3 MIVA, while the 'Dons fall to 5-23, 2-14. Fort Wayne concludes its season, falling short of a MIVA tournament berth.
