Lancaster Bible Loses Home Finale, 3-1 to EMU
The Lancaster Bible College men's volleyball team did something
they have never done on Wednesday night at Horst Athletic Center -
they won a set against Eastern Mennonite. Unfortunately, for the
Chargers, it was the only set they won in a 3-1 loss to the
Royals.
For the first time in 12 all-time matches against EMU, the
Chargers won a set, breaking an 0-for-33 drought. After dropping
the first set, the Royals rebounded and won, 19-25, 25-20, 25-19,
25-20.
Chris Moise led the Royals with 17 kills and seven digs. Nolan
Prock added four kills and 21 digs, while Frankie Coto and Greg
Knight each had nine kills.
For the Chargers (1-18, 0-12), Jesse
Corbin once again led LBC. Corbin had 14 kills and 16
digs, both season-highs for LBC.
"Jesse played great tonight," Chargers' Head Coach Ben Bewley
said. "He had twice as many kills as anyone else and played well
offensively and defensively."
All of the Chargers' players performed well defensively, as they
had 62 digs, the second most this season (they had 68 against New
Jersey City University in February).
"Our defense and passing was tremendous," Bewley said. "It is the
second straight match that the opposing coach has commended our
team defense."
Bewley was also pleased that the team did not fold when things did
not go their way.
"We didn't quit and we didn't back down," Bewley said. "I think
that is important for us as we wind down the season. We are winning
sets and playing better each time we take the floor."
Justin
Perkins had seven kills and 10 digs for LBC, while
A.J.
Longacre added six kills and 12 digs.
The Chargers will wrap-up their season this weekend at The MIT
Men's Volleyball Invitational in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
LBC will play twice on Friday and twice on Saturday.
"We have to keep building and can't just mail it in this weekend
because they are our last matches," Bewley said. "We have an
opportunity to win some matches up there, especially if we keep
playing well."
