Weston, Mass. — The Cal Lutheran Kingsmen extend their win streak to three with a dominant performance over the Regis Pride. The evening sweep moves the team to 15-8 on the season as the Kingsmen still have not allowed a set to their opponents this road trip.
For the second day in a row, Andrew Reina led the team in kills with 14, followed closely by 10 from Patrick Rowe. The two ignited the high-powered offense that jumped out quickly to a 10-5 lead in the first set. Although the Pride managed to cut their deficit to 21-20, late kills from Reina and Rowe locked in the set win 25-21.
Looking to even the score, Regis commanded the early half of set two on a 12-5 scoring run. Down four, Cal Lutheran was forced to take a timeout. The break was enough to stop the Pride's momentum, however, and a kill by Rowe sparked the team to score five unanswered points and regain the lead. The score was soon knotted up again at 19 off a kill by Regis' leading attacker Drew Beimel. Regis could not hold on though as they fell on three consecutive errors before Rowe, again, clinched the set 25-22 with a kill.
Sailing with confidence, Cal Lutheran surged past Regis 25-12 in set three. Overall, the team outhit Regis .389 to .208 and had just two errors in both the first and third sets. Michael Campbell assisted the offense with four kills of his own, moving him just one short of being the program leader in kills.
The Kingsmen look to remain undefeated in game four of their east coast trip tomorrow against Wentworth at 4 p.m. PST.
