MILWAUKEE – As closely contested as you'd expect the four-versus-five to be, No. 4 seed MSOE men's volleyball defeats No. 5 Concordia University Wisconsin in the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference (NACC) Quarterfinals.
RESULT
No. 4 MSOE RAIDERS – 3
No. 5 Concordia Wisconsin - 0
HOW IT HAPPENED
- Things were tight from the start as it seesawed back and forth with MSOE (14-10, 9-3 NACC) having the largest lead 19-16 after a dump from Parker Rings. Concordia Wisconsin (12-11, 8-5 NACC) slotted them back into the driver seat late having multiple cracks at set point until kills from Seth Thomas and Callan Harris gave the Raiders a 29-27 set one win.
- The Falcons asserted themselves with the early 10-5 lead to begin the second set, but it didn't last much longer after a block from Mathew Schultz tied things at 14. The momentum fully stayed on the Raiders side from that point on in the set as they picked up the final two points on Falcon errors to win 25-23.
- The Raiders were the first to emerge as the favorite for set three when they took a 7-1 after a kill from Schultz kickstarted it. The Falcons never made the full-on run the rest of the set as Carter Shavitz and Thomas teamed up together to seat it 25-21.
