HOW IT HAPPENED
- A 5-0 run to open the match by Concordia Wisconsin provided an early glimpse into the hard work put in over the course of this season. Freshman Sam Rovik (Silver Lake, Wis.) tallied one of his nine kills for the evening in that opening onslaught, as well as his lone ace. Four digs in the match rounded out what was an extremely strong night for him.
- Joining the attack for the Falcons were freshmen Blake Schwandt (Kenosha, Wis.), Isaac Glynn (Byron, Minn.) and sophomore Matthew Korman (Roscoe, Ill.) who all had two kills apiece. Schwandt built upon his late-season improvements at the net to lead the hosts with two blocks.
- Glynn and Korman formed the setting duo for Concordia Wisconsin, contributing 11 and seven assists, respectively. Glynn also led a busy Falcon defense, adding six of the team's 25 digs on the evening.
