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.

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.
