GLENSIDE, Pa. -- The No. 12 Arcadia men's volleyball team dropped a 3-0 match at the hands of Lancaster Bible on Wednesday evening at Alumni Gymnasium. The Chargers prevailed 25-23, 25-18, 25-19.
 
The Knights, who earlier this week earned their first national ranking ever, fell to 4-3 on the season. Lancaster Bible, which received votes in the latest AVCA poll and just missed being ranked, evened its record at 2-2 on the young season.
 
The Knights held a 10-8 lead in the first set before the teams traded 4-0 runs to put the score at 14-12 in favor of the Scarlet & Grey. Austin Braas pounded out back-to-back service aces to push the Knights back into the lead. Lancaster Bible answered with three straight points to take a 15-14 lead.
 
The Chargers stretched their lead out to 24-20 late in the match, but AU answered with three straight points to cut the deficit to 24-23. LBC's Nate Miller closed out the set with a kill as the Chargers took a 1-0 lead.
 
In the second set, a 5-1 run by the Chargers turned a 12-11 lead into a 17-12 advantage as they began to pull away. A kill from Quinn Baily got the Knights to within three at 21-18, but the Chargers closed with a 4-0 run to take a 2-0 lead in the match.
 
In the third set, Arcadia seemed to find its rhythm and held a 16-13 lead following a kill from Colin Nissley. The Chargers, however, reeled off six unanswered points for a 19-16 lead as they seized control. A service error halted the run, but LBC regrouped and closed out the win with a 6-2 burst.
 
Jason Manley led the Knights with nine kills and added four digs. Robie Moctezuma had nine kills on nine swings, and Baily chipped in five kills and seven digs. Anthony Devantier registered 24 assists and two service aces.
 
Miller led the Charges with 14 kills and Benjamin Herb added 10. Kaleb Ansell had 33 assists, and Kurt Maysilles had 11 digs.
