Stars Outshine Falcons

RIVER FOREST, Ill. - The Concordia University Wisconsin men's volleyball team traveled to face the Dominican University Stars on Wednesday. Dominican entered the match with a strong 6-1 conference record, but the Falcons fought hard throughout the contest, ultimately falling in three closely contested sets: 24-26, 16-25, and 24-26.

Despite the loss, the Falcons showed resilience, as each set featured multiple ties and lead changes. The defeat dropped CUW to 4-13 overall and 2-4 in Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference (NACC) play.

In the opening set, the teams battled through 19 ties and five lead changes, with the Stars narrowly emerging on top 26-24. Freshman Reid Scott (Chandler, Ariz.) kept the Falcons alive late in the set, delivering a clutch kill to tie the game at 24-24 and force extra points. However, Dominican finished strong, securing two consecutive points to take the first set.

The second set saw the Stars find their rhythm, pulling away late for a 25-16 win.

Despite the setback, CUW continued to compete in the third set, exchanging points with Dominican. The third frame featured 11 ties and two lead changes, with junior Tate Miller leading the charge, recording five kills.

At 16-16, Dominican went on a small run to take a 23-18 lead, but the Falcons refused to go down easily. CUW rallied, with Miller contributing several kills, and managed to tie the game at 24-24. However, the Stars again prevailed, claiming a 26-24 victory to complete the sweep.

Scott and Miller were the primary offensive weapons for CUW in the loss, with Scott notching 10 kills and Miller adding 7. Senior Logan Kebisek (Brookfield, Wis.) tallied 23 assists to facilitate the offense.

Defensively, the Falcons were led by four players with four digs each: junior Parker Pearson (Keller, Texas), Scott, Kebisek, and senior Lucas Beres (Germantown, Wis.). Beres and Miller each recorded three blocks.

The Falcons will face another tough challenge as they prepare to host the nationally-ranked Aurora Spartans, currently ranked 10th in the nation.
