Men’s Volleyball Takes Down Quincy On The Road In MIVA Action, 3-1
March 19, 2021 | Men's Volleyball
QUINCY, Ill. - The Cardinals continue to power through on their five-game road swing after beating Quincy 3-1 Friday night at Pepsi Arena.
Ball State (9-4, 6-3 MIVA) opened tonight's match in dominating fashion over Quincy (4-8, 1-8 MIVA) taking sets one and two fairly quickly, allowing the Cardinals to take an early 2-0 advantage over the Hawks early on in the match.
Veteran's Kaleb Jenness and Blake Reardon combined for eight of the Cardinals 12 kills in the first frame to help BSU take the first set over the Hawks, 25-18.
The Cardinals led the entire second set, eventually building a 16-9 cushion which was capped off with a kill from Felix Egharevba. Ball State would claim set two by 10 points (25-15).
The Hawks struggled on offense the entire night but managed to take set three from Ball State. Although, the Cardinals didn't just hand over the third set to Quincy. BSU trailed late in the third but the Cardinals fought back late in the frame to go up 21-20.
A few BSU mistakes later gave Quincy the opportunity to take the third set, 25-23.
It was a tough battle at the start of set four with five ties and one lead change. BSU quickly answered with back-to-back kills from Jenness and Reardon which sparked a nice little run for Ball State.
The Cardinals would eventually build 14-9 cushion and after that they simply never looked back. Reardon would put the icing on the cake with the game-winning kill off of the assist from Quinn Isaacson for the last point of the match.
For the game, Jenness led Ball State offensively with 15 kills while Reardon wasn't too far behind with 14. Wil McPhillips certainly helped out at the net with five block assists and Colin Ensalaco registered the most digs with nine.
The Cardinals will close out their two-match MIVA series at Quincy Saturday night at 8 p.m. ET in Pepsi Arena.
