Big Blue Men's Volleyball Defeated by Augustana

The Millikin men's volleyball team was defeated in three sets in their second matchup with the Augustana Vikings of the season on Wednesday, March 17. 

The Big Blue were led by Jakob Henderson who tallied 11 kills. Ryan Gould added eight. Colby Campbell was a force at the net, adding four blocks. Jose Gallardo was the Big Blue leader in assists with 21 and digs with 10. Fred Halper added six digs. 

In the first set, the Big Blue jumped out to a 1-0 lead and tied the game at five different times during the first 20 points. A few short runs by the Vikings were enough for a 16-25 victory. Set two was a much tighter set. A kill by Henderson brought the score to 18-19 late in the set. From there, back to back attacking errors by Gary Dodovich of the Vikings, one of them blocked by Chelan Beavers, tied the set at 20. Two service errors stifled any chance of a Big Blue rally, and Millikin fell 22-25 in set two. 

The third set was dominated by Millikin. The Big Blue jumped out to their largest lead of the day of 18-13 on a block by Campbell on an attack by Dodovich. Another block from Campbell brought Millikin to a 19-14 lead. A key rally with Justin Murphy behind the service line, including one service ace, helped give Augustana the lead at 21-22. Another service ace, this time off the hand of Max Sellers, secured the 23-25 third set victory for the Vikings. 

Big Blue men's volleyball's next game action will be a rematch against conference opponent Loras College on Sunday, March 21 at the Griswold Center.
