No.10 McKendree Embarks on Final Regular-Season Road Series

No.10 McKendree University men's volleyball team will travel to Fort Wayne, Ind., for its final Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association (MIVA) regular-season road series. The Bearcats will take on Purdue Fort Wayne in a two-game series at Gates Sports Center. First serve is scheduled for 6:00 PM on Saturday, Mar. 27, followed by 2:00 PM on Sunday, Mar. 28.

Nickie Sanlin and her team are looking to end their three-game losing stream as they head into their final road MIVA matchup. Friday night, the Bearcats recorded a match-high 16 blocks, nine of which came from MIVA conference leader Lucas Galifos (Mokena,IL/Lincoln Way East). The Bearcats were able to stick with the long rallies and get their opponent out of system, but No.14 Loyola would take the match 3-1. As a team, the Bearcats are averaging 11.6 kills per set with a .269 hitting percentage, along with 2.8 blocks and 1.2 service aces.
