Cardinals Sweep Saint Francis for Perfect Weekend in Pennsylvania
February 01, 2020 | Men's Volleyball
LORETTO, Pa. – One night removed from upsetting No. 7 Penn State in three sets, the Ball State University men's volleyball team earned a second sweep against Saint Francis to go 2-0 on the weekend through six-straight sets in Pennsylvania.
TEAM RECORDS
The Cardinals improved to 5-3 for the year and won their second straight while Saint Francis dropped to 2-6 in 2020.
IMPACT PERFORMANCE
Will Hippe led the Cardinals with four blocks while putting down four kills on a .429 hitting percentage. Hippe also chipped in four digs.
STAT LEADERS
Kills- Kaleb Jenness (12)
Assists- Quinn Isaacson (36)
Aces- Matt Szews (2)
Blocks- Hippe (4)
Digs- Nick LaVanchy (9)
SET-BY-SET SUMMARY
Set One (BSU 25, SFU 18)- The opening set was even until Ball State controlled a 7-2 stretch to take a 15-10 lead. The Cardinals gradually pulled away and Blake Reardon put down the kill that gave BSU a 1-0 advantage in the match.
Set Two (BSU 25, SFU 18)- It was Saint Francis that jumped out to an early lead in set two, but the Cardinals quickly recovered with runs of 4-1 and 4-0. It was much of the same the remainder of the set as the Cardinals slowly built their lead and used a Reardon kill to put away the game.
Set Three (BSU 25, SFU 20)- Ball State's momentum carried into the final set as the Cardinals quickly went up 7-3. A 5-1 stretch for BSU put the match out of reach and the Cardinals claimed victory without much resistance from the Red Flash.
BALL STATE NOTES
-Four of Ball State's five victories this season have occurred in three sets. The only one that didn't was a five-set victory at Cal State Northridge.
-Head coach Joel Walton now owns 396 wins for his career. The Cardinals play their next four matches at home as Walton needs just four more to hit the 400 mark.
-Ball State finished its six-match road swing with a record of 3-3. The Cardinals don't play another road contest until February 21 at Purdue Fort Wayne.
UP NEXT
The Cardinals return to the friendly confines of Worthen Arena when they host Urbana on Thursday, February 6. First serve is slated for 7 p.m. ET.
