Men's Volleyball Clinches Regular Season Title With 3-0 Sweep

GRANTHAM, Pa. – The Arcadia men's volleyball team spoiled Messiah's senior night by knocking off the Falcons, 3-0 Wednesday night. With the sweep, the Knights close out the MAC schedule with a record of 13-1, holding a 24-7 overall mark. The Scarlet & Grey also clinched the regular season conference championship and the No. 1 seed in next week's MAC tournament. With the defeat, Messiah falls to 17-10 on the season and 8-5 in conference play.
 
AU had control of the first set from the jump, but the Falcons hung around within three points most of the way. A 4-3 jaunt on two Austin Braas kills and two attack errors by the Falcons made the score 13-9 in favor of Arcadia, forcing Messiah to take a timeout. Messiah tallied two quick kills out of the timeout, but Arcadia roared back with a 6-2 run on three kills by Jason Manley and Quinn Baily, making the score 19-13. The Knights closed out the set, 25-20, on kills by Anthony Devantier and Robie Moctezuma.
 
In the second set, Arcadia raced out to a 4-0 advantage. Both sides traded three-point runs twice during the set, but the Knights held strong. During the back and forth affair, Messiah battled tough, getting the deficit down to 17-15, but the Knights countered with a set-ending 8-1 outburst to win 25-16 and go up 2-0.
 
The Falcons recorded two quick points to start the third set, and led for the first part of the set. With Messiah ahead 10-7, AU picked its game up and fired back with a 6-3 run to tie the score 13-13. Six of the next 11 points went Arcadia's way, and the Scarlet & Grey called a stoppage to catch their breath, leading 19-18. Out of the timeout, Arcadia used a 6-2 outburst to close out the set 25-20 and the match 3-0.
 
The Scarlet & Grey's offense tallied a .349 hitting percentage with 39 kills on 83 attacks. Seven different Knights recorded a kill led by 11 from Manley. Braas chipped in 10 kills, as well as nine and five from Baily and Moctezuma, respectively. Jarod Pichler dug up eights balls and Devantier assisted on 32 kills.
