QUINCY, Ill. - The Purdue Fort Wayne men's volleyball team fended off Quincy in a five-set contest (25-23, 22-25, 25-16, 23-25, 16-14) on Friday (March 21). Logan Muir contributed a career-high 26 kills and added in seven solo blocks, tying the second-highest mark in program history.
Donny Gleason notched his 100th win as a head coach following the victory.
The teams found themselves neck-and-neck to start the third set, after both sides split the opening sets. The Mastodons took the lead at 8-6 following a kill from setter Andrej Polomac and back-to-back service aces from Kaden Fosdick. The 'Dons added on a 7-1 run to extend their lead to 16-9. Purdue Fort Wayne's momentum continued on through the remainder of the set, ending on a 6-2 run to win the third 25-16. The 'Dons hit a match-high .412 hitting percentage in the set and held Quincy to a match-low -.037.
The Hawks responded in the fourth set, jumping out to a 4-1 lead and adding an 8-3 run shortly after for a 12-6 lead. The Mastodons had an answer, springing out on their own 7-2 run to cut into Quincy's lead. Purdue Fort Wayne managed to tie the set at 23-23 after a 4-1 surge late in the fourth. The Hawks finished the set at 25-23 with a service ace, sending the match to a fifth set.
Both sides opened the fifth set by trading several two point swings, resulting in Quincy leading 8-6 when the teams switched sides. Purdue Fort Wayne found themselves facing defeat at a 14-13 Hawks lead, but the Mastodons strung together a 3-0 run to take the victory.
Muir impressed in the first set, putting away an early eight kills to aid the 'Dons in taking the set one. Quincy's blazing match-high .480 hitting percentage in the second set proved too much for the Mastodons to handle, evening the set score 1-1.
Polomac assisted on 51 kills and added eight digs on the night. Fosdick added 10 kills, eight digs and three assists in the contest. Axel Melendez Watts finished with 12 kills and seven digs.
