Missed Opportunities

Romeoville, IL- It's not often that you play so well and come away with so little, but that is exactly what happened on Wednesday night for the IPFW Volleydons in their MIVA match with Lewis.

Lewis swept IPFW 3-0, but it wasn't nearly as easy as the final score would indicate. The Flyers won by the scores of 30-28, 40-38, 30-26.

Game two's 40-38 was a classic, and one of the highest scoring in the country this year. The Mastodons had nine game points, but couldn't convert. Lewis converted on their second try.

Game one was also tight with IPFW holding a three-point lead late, but Lewis rallied to win by two.

Lewis (15-14, 9-6 MIVA*) had three players in double figure kills, with Matt Mueller leading the way with a match-high 20 kills.

For the 'Dons (10-15, 8-7 MIVA) senior opposite Matt Zbyszewski registered 16 kills and two service aces.

Junior middle hitter Serdar Sikca added 12 kills and six block assists.

IPFW wraps up the regular season with a non-conference match with Rutgers-Newark, Friday night at Gates, and a conference match with Ohio State on Saturday night, also at Gates. Both matches begin at 7pm.

* Lewis is not eligible for post season play due to NCAA violations.
