QUINCY, Ill. - The Purdue Fort Wayne men's volleyball team throttled Quincy on Saturday evening (March 30) in a 25-21, 25-13, 25-18 victory.
From the get-go, Mark Frazier dominated the Hawks. He had nine kills on 10 swings in the opening frame, leading the 'Dons to hit .435 as a team. The 'Dons jumped out to a 5-0 lead and never trailed, holding QU to .048 hitting.
In set two, Jon Diedrich and Carlos Mercado took over the hitting duties as they combined for eight. Much like the first set, they never trailed after going up 5-1 and 10-2.
Quincy led 14-9 in set two before Mercado led the 'Dons to a 4-0 run and a 12-2 extended run. Frazier ended the match as he began it by recording four kills in the final five points of the match.
Frazier finished with a match-high 17 kills while hitting .609. Diedrich pitched in 13. Andrej Polomac dished out 33 assists while leading the team to a .467 team hitting percentage. Wilmer Hernandez and Frazier had six digs each.
Quincy was led by eight kills from Raje Alleyne.
Purdue Fort Wayne improves to 12-10 and 6-7 in the MIVA. Quincy falls to 5-17, 1-13 after its 16th loss in a row. The Mastodons will be back in Fort Wayne next week with Lewis on Thursday (April 4) and the Hawks on Saturday (April 6) for Senior Day.
