1/11/2019 9:09:00 PM | Men's Volleyball
BANNER ELK, N.C. - Behind seven kills from Alex Dickmann, the No. 13 Purdue Fort Wayne men's volleyball team took down Lees-McRae 3-0 (25-14, 25-19, 25-18). The match took just one hour and five minutes.
The Mastodons (3-0) zoomed out to a 9-3 after a 6-0 run behind Pelegrin Vargas. He recorded two aces in this stretch and would finish the match with four of the Mastodons' nine. The Bobcats (0-1) would get no closer than three points after this. The 'Dons put it away for good in set one with a 9-2 push, despite the Bobcats' best offensive set of the night. Purdue Fort Wayne still held LMC to .100 in the opening frame.
The second set saw some action from the bench, with Frederico Santos starting off the set. The 'Dons and Bobcats traded runs of two to three points until Purdue Fort Wayne took five straight to end the set. Kade Bontrager had two of his four kills in this run.
The last set of the night was highlighted by a strong Mastodon offense, which hit at .471 in the third. Purdue Fort Wayne led 19-12 after a 4-0 run, capped off by two kills from Bontrager. In Patrick Geldmeier's first-career action, he recorded three kills on three swings and two aces, including an ace on the final point of the night. The freshman had two of his three kills and Dickmann had four of his seven in the final frame.
The Mastodons out-hit the Bobcats .291 to -.056 for the night. They also ended the night with a 26-17 kill advantage and a 9-1 edge on aces.
Michael Keegan recorded six assists to move into sixth in program history. He now holds 2693 and needs 267 to pass Omar Rivera to move into fifth.
Purdue Fort Wayne has started the season with three straight sweeps, just one short of their best start of four, which came last season. Next up for the Mastodons is Queens, which the 'Dons will visit on Saturday (Jan. 12) at 7:30 p.m.
