Men's Volleyball Hangs Tough in Battle with Spartans

The Big Blue men's volleyball team matched up against the Spartans of Aurora University on Tuesday, February 8 at the Griswold Center in Decatur, Ill. The Big Blue hung tough with the Spartans, but they were defeated in straight sets by the Spartans (19-25, 17-25, 19-25). 

Millikin was led by Connor Fosselius and Jonathan Minnick with seven kills apiece. Chelan Beavers added three, along with a block and an ace. Robbie Maida tallied 17 assists in the three sets, and Jensen Mast and Fosselius each recorded four digs. Cristobal Gonzalez served up two aces. 

Aurora hit for an impressive .397, outkilling Millikin 33-22. They were led by Thomas Kovanic with 10 kills, and John McCormack added eight. 

The Big Blue tied the first set at 17 on a Fosselius kill before the Spartans rattled off four points in a row, then held their lead through the remainder of the set. In the third set, MU rallied after Aurora pulled ahead to an early lead, but the Spartans capped off the sweep with the third set victory. 

Millikin will meet two Wisconsin opponents in Fond du Lac, Wis. on Saturday, February 12. They begin their time at the Sadoff Gymnasium with a matchup with the Green Knights of St. Norbert College, followed by their second clash this season with the host Sabres of Marian University.
