Box Score
Lourdes University's men's volleyball team opened up its swing through the Carolinas on Monday evening dropping a 25-20, 25-17, 25-21 decision to Lees-McRae at Williams Gymnasium in Banner Elk, N.C.
 
“To say we did not play well tonight is an understatement,” head coach Greg Reitz stated after the match.  “It was a disappointing effort tonight from the guys but we have to put this in the past.  We return to the court in less than 24 hours and need to be ready to go again tomorrow night.”
 
The Gray Wolves hit just .045 for the match, committing 25 attack errors in the three sets.  The Bobcats, on the other hand, hit .266.
 
Frank Craig (Jacksonville, Fla./Englewood H.S.) led the way for Lourdes with eight kills while Olivia Cizmazia (Bratislava, Slovakia/Metodova H.S.) handed out 23 assists.  Brad Miller (Convoy, Ohio/Crestview H.S.) and Garrett Jones (Las Vegas, Nev./Las Vegas H.S.) each registered nine digs while Zander Epps (San Diego, Calif./Eastlake H.S.) tallied a team-best four blocks.
