MEQUON, Wis. – The MSOE men's volleyball took the short trip up to Mequon Friday night and after splitting the first two sets, the Raiders took the final two battletested sets over Concordia University Wisconsin.

RESULT
MSOE RAIDERS – 3

Concordia Wisconsin - 1

HOW IT HAPPENED

• MSOE (8-9, 6-1 NACC) came out of the gates with authority in the first set, hitting .440 and committing just two errors. After opening the match with a block from Tommy Clausz and Seth Thomas, the Raiders took a 13-4 lead, that ended with three-straight kills from Callan Harris. Concordia Wisconsin (4-12, 2-3 NACC) began to hold their own from there and slim their margin to with five late in the set, but a kill from Thomas ended it with the Raiders taking set one 25-18.
• The Falcons used a 6-0 run in the middle of the second to boost their momentum to take it 25-23, despite a late charge from the Raiders. In the third set, it was a neck and neck battle to begin until the midway point when the Raiders took the slight edge after Clausz and Harris teamed up for a block to take a 20-15 lead. As the Falcons continued to battle, an attack error from them gave the Raiders the set win, 25-21.
• Thomas helped lead the Raiders to open the fourth set as the Raider went ahead 7-3 early on before a 5-0 run later on that had two aces from Parker Rings gave them a 17-7 lead. Despite later in the set the Falcons chipping away at the deficit, Thomas put the final nail in the coffin to win 25-20.
