Harrisonburg, VA - The Mustangs traveled
to Eastern Mennonite University looking to avenge the loss
they suffered at home last week to the same
team. The Mustangs battled hard but could not overcome
the Royals, falling in three games. The Mustangs put up a strong
performance in each game, scoring more than twenty points
in each one.
In the first game, the Mustangs lost out 30-21 but
in the next two games VJC ran their opponents close. The second
game was neck and neck until the end when EMU pulled out a 30-27
win. During the final game, the Mustangs made a strong effort to
keep the match going into a fourth, but the Royals edged the men
30-25 to end the contest in a sweep.
JR Jackson (Havre de Grace, MD/Havre de
Grace) led the team with ten kills and three
digs, while David Lloyd (Germantown, MD/Calvert
Hall) put away another seven kills and aided the
Mustangs' defense with a total of three digs. Ben
Leatherman (Glen Arm, MD/ Calvert Hall), Steve Grossnickle (Perry
Hall, MD/Calvert Hall), and John Hall (Bel
Air, MD/Bel Air) each had six digs for the team
high.
Men's volleyball (5-8, 1-3) will be back
in action at home on Friday February 29th and Saturday March 1st
when they host a quad-match against New Jersey City University,
Hilbert College, Kings College and Philadelphia Biblical University
