Men's Volleyball Swept by VWU in Season Series

WINCHESTER, Va. - On Friday evening, the Shenandoah University men's volleyball team lost 3-0 at home to Virginia Wesleyan University in an ODAC match.

The Marlins (9-2, 2-0 ODAC) survived two close sets in the first and third to secure the season sweep over the Hornets (3-6, 1-5).

RECAP

The Marlins grabbed a 6-2 lead early in the first, but the Hornets rallied to take a 17-16 lead off a 6-1 run. The run was anchored by kills from Alex Schoenen, Kaden Odberg, and Jahmai-Kaream Maurice. VWU regained the lead moments later with SU keeping it a one-score set until the visitors won 25-22.

In the middle set, SU led on five separate occasions until VWU took the lead for good following a 10-10 tie. The Marlins won the frame 25-13, following a set-ending 15-3 run.

Four errors by the Marlins, plus a kill from Finnegan Martin, helped the Hornets grab a 10-7 lead in the third. VWU then tied the set at 10 and 11 before the Hornets went on a 7-3 stretch that saw them lead 17-13. The visitors once again responded quickly to tie the set prior to gaining a 20-19 advantage. Simon Bellenbaum provided a solo block that tied the set at 23; however, the Marlins won the next two rallies to win the match.

Maurice led the Hornets with seven kills, with Turner Hare having a team-high 11 assists. Defensively, SU was led by Jordan Griffin's eight digs and Schoenen's three block assists.

The Hornets are at home next Friday for a non-conference meeting with Penn State Altoona at 7 p.m.
