Men’s Volleyball Drops Matches One and Two at Illinois Wesleyan Quad Friday Evening

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. –  The Adrian College men's volleyball team dropped its first two matches of the Illinois Wesleyan Quad Friday evening after 0-3 losses to both Edgewood College and Illinois Wesleyan.

MATCH ONE
During the first set, the Bulldogs and Edgewood College were dead-locked for the first 24 combined points scored, until a service error by the Eagles opened the door for the men's volleyball team. After the service error committed by Edgewood College, the Bulldogs quickly jumped out to a four-point advantage at 16-12. During the expedient run, the men's volleyball team capitalized on the Eagle's errors heading into the later half of the set. A Chase Heuer kill would increase the men's volleyball team's lead by four at 17-13. However, the Eagles would close out the set with a 13-8 run to win 26-24. 

The Bulldogs would lead by as much as three and would trail by as much as five during the second set. Neither team gained a sizable advantage over one other in the first half of the set as both teams were tied at 13 all. The men's volleyball team would slightly pull away and took a 17-14 lead over Edgewood by capitalizing on an attacking error. However, after taking the three-point lead, the Bulldogs would be outscored 11-3 and would ultimately lose the set. 

The men's volleyball team would find themselves down two sets to none heading into the third set. During the set, both teams would battle back and forth, with neither team leading by more than three points. After a kill by the Eagles, Edgewood would lead 23-20, however, the men's volleyball team would rally back to take a 25-24 lead; their first lead of the set after an Andrew Gawrisch kill. Over the next few minutes, both teams would exchange points. Beck Fieldhouse would tie the set up at 27 all and Fieldhouse would counter to Edgewood's response to knot the game back up at 28 apiece. However, Edgewood would close out the set on a 2-0 run to take the victory over the Bulldogs. 

Top Dawgs
The sophomore Fieldhouse would lead all players with 12 kills in the first match of the evening. Tonight, Fieldhouse would record double digit kills for the first time since January 27, when the Bulldogs faced Illinois Wesleyan. Junior Jacob Rembulat would record nine digs during the first match. This season, Reumbulat has posted nine or more digs in seven of his nine matches played this season.

MATCH TWO
In the second match of the night, the men's volleyball team would take on Illinois Wesleyan. The Bulldogs would trail for the entirety of the first set. After starting the first set down 7-3, the Bulldogs would record a swift 4-2 run to pull within a point at 7-8 after a kill by Fieldhouse. Down 17-11, Fieldhouse and Gavin Yonker would record kills to help bring the Bulldogs within four during a 5-3 run. However, the Spartans would respond with a 5-3 run of their own and the Bulldogs would enter the second set down 1-0.   

After finding themselves down in an early 5-1 deficit in the second set, the men's volleyball team would tie up the Spartans at 10 all, after a kill by Heuer. During the second half of the set, the Spartans were able to gain a slim three-point advantage after outscoring the Bulldogs 15-12 to close the set. At the ending stages of the set, Heuer would record two kills while Fieldhouse and Yonker would each record a kill apiece. 

During the third set, the Bulldogs would face another deficit, this time down five at 11-6 in favor of Illinois Wesleyan. Over the next 21 combined points, the Bulldogs fought relentlessly and would not allow the Spartans to add to their lead. Heuer, Gawrich, and Carson Bell combined for five kills to bring Adrian College within four points. The run was not enough, as Illinois Wesleyan would close out the match with a 4-1 advantage, securing the victory for the Spartans.
