WAUWATOSA, Wis. – MSOE men's volleyball opened up NACC play this evening, traveling just west of Milwaukee to take on Wisconsin Lutheran in what was the Warriors first ever home contest. It was clear from the beginning that there was not much that was going to stand in the way of a Raiders victory as the Red & White hit above .300 as a team and won in decisive fashion.

RESULT
(RV) MSOE RAIDERS – 3 (25, 25, 25)
Wisconsin Lutheran – 0 (16, 14, 5)

HOW IT HAPPENED
MSOE (2-1, 1-0 NACC) dominated play this evening as they took on Wisconsin Lutheran (0-2, 0-2 NACC) in their NACC season opener. MSOE started the first set off on a 5-0 run and won the first 15 of 23 points that were up for grabs. WLC had a very brief lead in the second stanza, but a massive 15-2 Raiders rally once again wiped out any hopes the Warriors had. The third and deciding set featured complete domination from the Red & White, as they only gave up five points on their way to a straight sets rout. The Raiders hit a stellar .314 as a team, only committing a total of 11 errors, while the Warriors had just two more attacking mishaps than the Red & White but ended up hitting -.344 in the ballgame including a hitting percentage of -.700 in the third frame.
