Purdue Fort Wayne Defeats McKendree 3-1 For MIVA Win
2/22/2023 10:22:00 PM | Men's Volleyball
LEBANON, Ill. - The Purdue Fort Wayne men's volleyball team beat McKendree 3-1 (25-22, 25-22, 23-25, 25-20) on Wednesday night (Feb. 22) for its second MIVA win of the season.
This the Mastodons' third win all-time at McKendree and second in a row.
In a true Purdue Fort Wayne vs. McKendree match fashion, it was a defensive grinder on Wednesday night. The Mastodons hit .205 and the Bearcats hit .189.
Jon Diedrich led the way with 15 kills for the Mastodons, with Bryce Walker (13) and Mark Frazier (12) right behind. Mark Frazier tied his career-high with four aces. Wilmer Hernandez took over libero duties for the night midway through the match and tied his career-high with 12 digs.
Set one went to the Mastodons thanks to a 5-1 run to go up 21-15. This included a pair of blocks from Frazier.
The 'Dons started off with a 9-4 push in set two, but McKendree took a 12-11 lead. Immediately after, the Mastodons went on an 8-1 run behind Carlos Mercado's service. This gave the 'Dons a lead to hold the rest of the way.
McKendree took set three after a late 5-1 run from which the 'Dons could not recover.
The Mastodons never got a huge run going in set four, but they happily traded twos for ones, eventually taking the set 25-20.
Purdue Fort Wayne improves to 11-4, 2-3 MIVA. McKendree falls to 6-6, 1-4.
The Mastodons return home for a game on Friday (Feb. 24) against the Lewis Flyers.
